Started in the fish hobby when I was 9 years old. My parents would take me to Woolworths and Roses to
look at their aquariums. I kept a tank with black mollies and another tank with turtles. I was fascinated by
livebearers. I learned three valuable lessons: 1) Don’t trust an angelfish with mollies. 2) Never fully clean
the tank & rocks with bleach and replace all filter material at the same time. 3) When keeping newts,
make certain to have a secure top. Unless you want to find a French fried newt at a later date.
Other hobbies include: playing tournament tennis, playing guitar, member of the Midwest
Cactus and Succulent Society, raising orchids.

President’s Message
Hey Gang,
Again this month we will be having another great speaker in Gary Mendez. He will be speaking about his fish
room and breeding techniques. Gary is one of the nicest people in the fish hobby and someone you will hate
bidding against at auctions. His talk will be worth seeing and listening to. Plan on attending as he will answer
many of the questions many of you have wondered about.
Also this month will be the last monthly meeting before our 1st auction. This will be the meeting where we
look for volunteers to help. Presently we have 108 members and we need a lot of you to help run bags,
check in fish, setup, take down and insure that all members have an opportunity to enjoy the day. If you’re
not sure about helping since you don’t know how an auction works, we will be glad to help and show you.
We need as many members as possible to be there and help.
Just like every other club, an auction is that clubs time to shine, and I am sure like other clubs our members
will step up to help make our auction a success.
Lastly, as most of you who attend our meetings, see more and more members and new members each and
every month. I want to take this time and thank each and every one of you for spreading the word about our
club to people. Yes, it has only been two years and those of you who helped start the club see the club
growing, the speakers better and more opportunities for everyone, from quarterly fish buys, member group
buys, the Kens' Fish order and other things the club is doing for its members. The club will continue to do
these things and hopefully continue to grow. We need each and every one of you to insure it does.
Remember, No Smoking on Church grounds or littering of cigarette butt on nearby properties.
I look forward to seeing everyone this Friday and again on March 15th for our club auction.
See you this weekend.

Now, about ME. I am new to this club, not having yet renewed for the first time. I have been a member
of 3 fish clubs in the past 10 years. They are Medina, Lorain and Cleveland aquarium societies. I've had
guppies, bettas(bred these), catfish and loaches since I was in middle school. After college I got into
cichlids-Discus, angels, labs, zebras etc. I also had about 50 different types of plecos. I also have shrimp,
snails and such. All my tanks are planted. My tanks range in size from a betta cube(Kyleighs), a few small
tanks, a couple 40's and a couple over 100 gallons.
My daughter Kyleigh joined most of my current clubs as well. She is new to the Bowl Show each
month. If you need to contact her, please e-mail me. She is 9 and does not yet have her own account.

Breeder Award
Program (BAP)
Well, January was not a disappointment we
had 43 spawns turned in and a there were a
good number of NEW to the program fish
turned in. We also had a new member DAVE
HEARN WELCOME!!!
Ok now I have some things to address. First of all the
size issue. Most of the fish were of acceptable size but a
few were not. This is the final warning they need to be
1 INCH unless it is a fish that matures at 1 inch or less.
I will never be standing there with a ruler but there
were some fish turned in that were unacceptable. The
next is the number in the bag...
The purpose of the program is to promote breeding.
There are supposed to be at least 6 fish in the bag. I
know there is a reference in the BAP Guidelines that
says 3 to 6. Bags of 3 fry are only acceptable for fish
with higher POINT VALUES in other words 20 point
fish. The reason for this is to provide the buyer with a
chance to obtain enough fry to almost guarantee a pair
or small breeding group. I urge you to bring 6 fry even
on the higher 20 point fish for that reason. It is just my
opinion and mind set but I will usually pass up a bag of 3
fry because if you buy them and then lose 1 your
chances of a pair are much slimmer. I will also spend
more money on 6.
I will accept 5 fry, I get at least one person every few
months that will set aside 6 fry for BAP and will lose
one right before the meeting. Ok I can live with 5 in
those cases unless of course everyone begins to show
up with 5 fry in the bag.
One final issue I would like to address and this is not
posted anywhere yet but will be in the future. I will give
you the option of opting out of the BAP auction if you
bring in 6 fry for inspection and bring an article for inclusion in the bulletin. This is really intended for those
fish you worked hard to breed and have lots of money
invested in. I will be expecting something substantial
though not just a few short paragraphs to try and get
you by. Photos of your own would be a plus!!! I get
it you spent $300.00 on your breeders and 1 inch
fry are selling for $20.00 each and you don't
want to give them away.
The final thought. We are supposed to
be sharing knowledge here, write an
article.
Cheers, John

Refreshment Committee
I hope that everyone enjoyed the refreshments at the January meeting. I am trying to do some healthier snacks
because most people choose to lose weight or eat healthier for their New Year’s resolution. Donations collected last month for refreshments were $4.51. Thanks to those who contributed. You can make cash donations or bring something to share. Anything is appreciated.
Next month for the March 15th auction, I would like to start the day by serving breakfast items and see how
that works out. From all the auctions I have been to, the breakfast items are usually muffins and donuts. Below
I will have the food menu, so that everyone can plan what they want to eat. I hope at this auction to see more
people at the refreshment counter and less fast food bags. I will still need a couple extra sets of hands to help
out as well. Please let me know if you can volunteer to help.

It turns out that we have a small hack on our site where it shows on the top of the main page
“Payday Loans”. I have contacted our ISP for assistance in get it removed.
Strangely it did not show up on my IE but it does show up on my wife’s computer using all three of
her browsers. I will keep the membership updated as we work to get it removed. Interesting, the
link does not even work anymore.
