At
Queensland Aquarium Hobbyists meetings,
We have guest speakers talking on a wide range of topics including, how to keep
particular species of fish, showing fish, general maintenance, setup of tanks,
aquarium husbandry and other fish related topics.
Meetings also consist of a combination
of the following: presentations by club members, Fish of Month talks, Spawning’s,
Losses and Acquisitions, Slide shows, Videos, hands-on workshops and because
the club considers the social part of the club to be very important plenty of
time to just sit and chat.
As
enthusiasts with a common passion we can learn from each other’s experiences
whether it be optimally maintaining a single tank or breeding that difficult to
spawn species.
Members come from all walks of life and meet in a social atmosphere to
enhance their own knowledge and have a bit of fun. You never know when you will
meet that person that has a key piece of information that can help you.
Every Second month instead of a meeting we
have workshops, collecting trips or other social outings. We also hold other
events such as: Aquarium & Fish Shows, Camping weekends and Auctions.
