COAST Fish Club, Aug 1st, Costa Mesa, CA Free to attend

Meeting date/time: August 1st, Sunday, 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.
Topic: Cichlids of the Rift
Speaker: Chuck Rambo

Although he usually talks about the endangered cichlids of Lake Victoria, this
year Chuck will be presenting slides of the cichlids of the lakes of the Great
Rift Valley, that tear in the continental plates where Africa nearly fell into
the sea just a few millenia ago.

Chuck Rambo has been active in the American Cichlid Association since it was
founded in the late 1960's. He has worked tirelessly to forward the
understanding of cichlids and to preserve those in danger of survival. He has a
vast store of knowledge and experience about all kinds of cichlids and how to
take care of them. If you're even a little curious about one of the biggest
family of fishes in the freshwater world, you'll enjoy listening to Chuck.


After Chuck gives his awesome presentation, we will be having our monthly HUGE
FISH AUCTION. Club members bring in their fish, aquatic plants, live food
cultures, and gently used aquariums and equipment to auction off! Prices are
outrageously cheap, and you do not have to be a member to bid and buy items.
Many rare and unusual fish come across the auction table, with many locally
bred fish available. Please join us, it is a ton of fish fun and you are bound
to go home with an armload of cool stuff!

You do not have to be a member to come to the meetings, hear the speaker or bid
in the auctions, so come on over to the COAST FISH CLUB and hang out with other
fish minded folks. We would love to have you
