Glad you can make it! I remember you asking in the 5280 Aquascaping page about any fish societies/clubs in the Denver area. These meetings are awesome!!! Unfortunately I can't make today's meeting.

This is Richard Scott btw from the 5280 Aquascaping page for some reason I remember you last name.

These meeting just keep getting better. If you are not attending you are missing out on some rare and outstanding fish, easy to grow and hard to find plants often in bulk, a good source of live foods and the wealth of knowledge of people who have been keeping fish for decades.
