It was well attended and much swapping of fish and fish tales occurred. At the May meeting, Ken Walker will be speaking on breeding Loricariids. Plecos have long been popular with Cichlid keepers and Ken has been a pioneer in keeping these colorful and interesting fish. He has recently built a new and large fish room that dedicates much space to keeping Plecos. Come join us to hear Ken’s insights and to learn from his experiences. We’ll be trying some things to make the business part of the meeting more effective at the May meeting. Primarily, we’ll be using the microphone for announcements so that you can hear them better. Secondly, we’ll be collecting info from other clubs during the break and will announce upcoming events when we start the meeting back up. If you have friends interesting in learning about fish keeping, please bring them out to the meeting. We’re always interested in getting new folks involved. Well, that’s all for now. Check out www.ohiocichlid.com and Facebook for speaker and other club information. See you at the monthly meeting on Friday, May 3.

Program Preview By Lew Carbone Ken Walker knows catfish in ways that most of us do not. He grew up on a Missouri catfish farm, before moving to Tennessee, and eventually Bay Village. He has kept fish (in aquariums, that is) since the late 1970s. Ken got involve with area aquarium clubs in the mid-1990s, and got to know other hobbyists who broadened his aquaristic interests. He credits Carl Hazenstab (an active area aquarist and OCA board member who passed away in 2001) with turning him on to the diversity of plekos, and Loracariids have been a main focus ever since. Besides the OCA, Ken belongs to the Lorain and Medina County Aquarium Clubs, the American Livebearer Association and the Potomac Valley Aquarium Society, which puts on the Catfish Convention every two years. He has held the positions of President and Vice President in both the LCAS and the MCAS. In his current fishroom, Ken maintains 65 tanks ranging from 2.5 to 210 gallons, mostly on an automatic water change system In the real world, he owns and operates a trucking company and a leadership management group. Ken is a contributor to Planet Catfish, probably the most comprehensive aquarium catfish website in the English language. The title of Ken’s talk will be “Breeding Catfishes of South America”. I hope to see you there!

An accomplishment that tells the world… I AM MASTER! CONGRATS BRYAN DAVIS FOR REACHING THE 1,000 POINT LEVEL BY SUCCESSFULLY BREEDING Altolamprologus compressiceps “Malasa Island gold head” MAY 2013 This Month In OCA History By Lew Carbone 1994: Jim Smith takes over the OCA Membership Chair, from Dan Woodland. Jim, in whose honor the Jim Smith Fund is named, held this position for the rest of his life. 1999: Dr. Ron Coleman, of the University of the Pacific, in Stockton, California, is our speaker at this month’s social meeting. He recently did field studies in Costa Rica, and will be speaking about the cichlids he encountered there. Dr. Coleman also spoke at the 1997 and 2003 Extravaganzas. He currently holds the title of Associate Professor at California State University, Sacramento. Anyone interested in the science side of our hobby should check out his website: www.cichlidresearch.com 2003: After over 8 years of social meetings at the Tri-County Senior Center, in Middleburgh Heights, the OCA holds its first meeting at a new location. The Hampton Inn, on Tiedeman Rd in Brooklyn, offers a bigger room and a better parking situation. In addition, it’s located just 5 minutes from I480. The guest speaker at this meeting is fish-health specialist Terry Fairfield, from Chicago.

Cichlid News offers the latest information about all of the Cichlid species you love from experts you trust. Subscribe Today. www.cichlidnews.com The Jim Smith Memorial Fund What’s exciting about the Cichlid hobby is that there are hundreds, maybe thousands of species that we have yet to discover. Unfortunately each day many cichlids are losing their habitat or being consumed by those who don’t understand their value to the local environment and the planet. The Jim Smith Memorial Fund is used by the members of The Ohio Cichlid Association to help those who study cichlid species and engage in real world efforts to stop habitat destruction. This fund has been used to catalog data that is available to the entire world so that we can all learn more about these species that we all enjoy. We’ve also helped efforts to stop overfishing of cichlids and prevented destruction breeding areas in the African Rift Lakes. Please help us by supporting the Jim Smith Memorial Fund. You can guarantee that new fish will be available for the future and support those who are making a difference today. You can help by buying raffle tickets, donating supplies and fish, or by offering a cash donation at any OCA meeting or event.
