Freshwater Crabs in the Aquarium by Orin McMonigle

President’s Message Happy August to Everyone You might ask why I would say that. Well the kids are back in school and all of us will be thinking about fish again and the upcoming auction season. I don't know about all of you but that works for me. As we approach the fall we have a lot of things coming up. This month we have a very interesting talk on fresh water crabs. In the months to come we have a talk about what goes on at a National Guppy Convention and we are still looking at bringing in a speaker from a national fish food company along with working on the logistics for another Market Night. As with most of our events we do need members participation and help. At the meeting this Friday we will be asking for support for the auction. Our last auction was tremendous with all the help. Lets keep it going so everyone can enjoy the event.

See you Friday, Dan

ACA Article and Photos by Bob Blazek

My First ACA Convention I want to start out by thanking the club for this wonderful opportunity to attend this event. The ride there wasn't bad and the weather was great. Immediately upon entering the hotel I saw some familiar faces and fish people everywhere. We checked in and we had great accom- modations with a nice view of the river.

Once I was settled in it was off and exploring. The first thing I checked out was the silent Babes auction stuff then the vendors room. I picked up some cichlid huts and a few other items.

Next I was off to see the show fish. I visited a pretty good sized room were people rented tanks to sell fish from. I liked that concept as eve- rything was in one area. Room sales were few and spread out. I didn't buy any fish as I'm maxed out in my 23 tanks I have running. I did make a friends day by finding what he said that were some hard to find Victorians. They were Neochromis Omnicaerulues Makobe Island I I. I picked up a pair for him to add to his group of females as he lost his male.

The Babes fish auction was a riot and Ad Konings talk on lake Tanganyika was very good. The experience was awesome and hopefully the club will do it again and someone else will have the same opportunity. So please remember to support Neofish both financially and by helping out anyway you can.

Last but not least Ohio has had a lot of accolades brought to it this year...an NBA title, a minor league Hockey cham- pionship and a UFC title, I'm proud to say my friend and club member Scott Meyers won " Best of Show " and many other awards. This is a huge accomplishment and he deserved as he works hard at it !!

Thanks, Bob Blazek

underwater By STM

Hello everyone, August...... labor day....man time flies ! Hope all is well and your fish are even better. I keep getting more and more ideas for my room via club members or non club members. I also get ideas for underwater, this article. I have numerous ways to go for an article. So I write them down or try to remember what I can. Here goes ...... Tank twenty four went out the door...... A few months ago I was approached by our youngest son Jordan. Dad Ellie wants a tank. Well okay. Jordan approached me near the end of my umpiring season. I worked in one of those desk type aquariums. Maybe a gallon and half of water. If that. I bought a bag of white gravel and used what I had laying around to make an interesting tank. May I add Ellie is Jordan's girlfriend and one super young lady. So two weeks i run it. Sweet little tank i thought. We'll now comes the time to test if it's fish worthy. Plunk a spare guppy in.....next day on the floor. Put the lid on and try again....guppy through the top hole in the cover. Well not defeated yet. Grab used filter floss from various box filters and seed the factory filter. Successful finally. Ellie has a great little tank and Jordan says the guppies are pregnant. Go figure .... That's what I raise, show guppies So how did I come up with tank twenty four, i run 23 tanks. Ellies was 24 Take care everyone.....STM

Committee Announcements (cont.) Breeder Award Program (BAP) & Horticultural Award Program (HAP)

Maybe I should skip more meetings. We had a nice showing for the BAP in July. There were a total of 17 spawns sub- mitted 6 of which were new to the program. We also had one spawn of a very rare Juli davidsandsi turned in. If you purchased them what you actually have is Julidochromis marksmnithi formerly known as Julidochromis regani Kipilli. I have to tell you that there are no cichlids named after David Sands, a very nice Corydoras but no cichlids.

We also had our very first Target Fish for the special Challenge Plaques turned in. It was Ctenopoma kingsleyi an Afri- can Gourami of sorts. Congratulations Dan McMonigle for your achievement, now how about an article for the bulle- tin? I will publish a list of who stands where in this program when we hit the half way mark in October so everyone can see where they stand and what they still need. I will be adding some more Target fish at that time, but they won't be very easy.

I hope top see you at the meeting....

Committee Announcements (cont.) Breeder Award Challenge Program (BACP)

The Challenge...

We will begin accepting fish for this program at the meeting April 15, 2016 and it will continue until the meeting on March 17, 2017 that will be the last date for submissions. Any plaques that are earned will be awarded in April 2017 at our monthly meeting.

This program is an extension of our usual BAP program. The basic program is still as it was and fish may be turned in from any category at any meeting. As you look at the information below you will notice that there are very few Central American, Tanganyikian, and 1 Malawian and no Victorian cichlids. The reason for this is that basically we receive a lot of these and the purpose of the program is to broaden your interests.

If there are fish you would like to have designated as a Target Fish, you may submit it to me for consideration in person, by E-mail to Lotsapetsgar- [email protected] or even through Facebook. Please keep in mind that just because you ask does not mean it will be. The purpose of the Target Fish is to challenge you to breed something a little bit harder. I may add new Target Fish from month to month.

I challenge you to complete 6 challenges in the next 12 months. Those that include at least 1 Target fish will receive a special award the others will get the points. Each of the 6 MUST BE from a different group, in other words you cannot turn in 6 Tetras. Again we are looking to EXTEND our interests. Only 1 item from each group will qualify for the Challenges, but of course you are welcome to turn in any fish as usual for BAP points.

Finding Target Fish can be a problem. Places to look are Wetspot, Aquabid, the Auctions and even the local Pet Shops. If you need help finding something ask me I may be able to locate them for you.

The Challenges are as follows:
