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.
