Please join us this Saturday for another great meeting of the Silicon
Valley Aquarium Society. Our originally scheduled speaker, Art North,
has had a family emergency and will not be speaking. Our thoughts are
with him during a difficult time. We wish him and his family well.
We are very happy to have Max Gillis speaking to us with a brand new
world premiere presentation. He will present "The Magnificent
Sharpshooting Archerfish". He will show us how to set up and maintain
a habitat for the 2 most common archerfish species. If you've never
seen an archer shoot a cricket from a vine, you're in for a treat! I
really hope there's some video of that. I can't wait to see it.
Max was introduced to the aquarium hobby when his older brother gave
him a 10 gallon starter kit for his 10th birthday. He started with
common fish like tiger barbs, but soon moved on to cichlids and
killifish. A Red Texas cichlid spurred his interest in more unusual
fish. His search for more and more unique oddballs led him to his most
recent project, a 55-gallon archerfish tank.
As usual our speaker will start at 7:30. Come early to check-in for
the auction and bowl show, and to order food. We meet at the Round
Table Pizza 4400 Stevens Creek Blvd. in San Jose.

All that out of the way now ... this might be the way I'd go (at least
before dropping to copper in freshwater aquaria.) However, all snails,
plants and salt sensitive fish (such as Corydoras, etc) must be removed
first:

This method is not practical, it sounds good in theory. The biggest pitfall
with this method is that you have to first catch the fish from the tank, and
catching them is not easy unless you have a bare bottom tank, no coral, no
landscaping.

A hospital tank is what is needed when treating a fish who is sick with
any illness. You don't want to infect the other fishes in the tank. Ick
is caused by stress to the fish. A hospital tank is also useful when
buying a new fish and getting him acclimated before he goes in the main
tank, also to make sure he's not sick and bringing a disease into your tank
A fresh water dip will cure the fish of the ick right away. A cleaner
shrimp will also cure the fish,but may take a bit longer. A U.V.
sterilizer? from everything I've read, is not recommenced in reef
environment. It will kill ALL bacteria even the the ones you want in
the tank.
Sometimes doing a little research on you own, will answer the very
question you seek to answer.

Do you scour the web and your local fish stores for weird or rare
fish? Are you and your local fish store manager on a first name basis
because you order fish the store doesn't stock whenever you have
pocket money? Are you just interested in the unusual? Well this month
we have the speaker for you. Steve Ehrlich will talk about weird and
oddball fish as well as his experiences in the fish industry. This
should be a talk we'll all remember for a long time.
As usual our speaker will start at 7:30. Come early to order food,
and check in for the Bowl Show and Auction. The bowl show is open to
all kinds of fish. A raffle will follow the auction. We meet at the
Round Table Pizza 4400 Stevens Creek Blvd in San Jose.
Please remember that no outside food or drink (except food for babies)
is allowed. The last time I attended a meeting I found an empty beer
bottle and had to take it outside to dispose of it. If the restaurant
catches us with outside food we could lose our reservation
permanently. If an inspector catches us with outside liquor the
restaurant could lose its license. Please be good citizens.
Celebrate the weird with us on Saturday!

all fish. Come on everyone, give Leo some competition for the bowl
show championship.
We'll be meeting as usual at the Round Table Pizza, 4400 Stevens Creek

raffle to follow. Come early to socialize, order food, and check in
for the auction.
