SPU, Otto Miller Hall Room 109
Proof of vaccination required, masks encouraged
Bonus informal talk Monday June 13th, 7:30 PM, same place!
Join us for our final meeting of the 2021-2022 season on June 14th, featuring board elections, the Home Show awards, monthly auction (sellers, preregister here), and our guest catfish expert Rob McLure!
Rob McLure has over 35 years of experience keeping fish, from big cichlids to mini reefs. Rob has bred more than 150 species of aquarium fish and currently maintains more than 50 tanks in his small basement fishroom. He has focused almost exclusively on Corydoras for the past 9 plus years and has managed to breed nearly 75 species in the Corydoradinae group to date, almost all of those multiple times.
Rob will be speaking on successful Corydoras breeding methods at our big Tuesday meeting. But if you can't get enough, join us the night before, Monday the 13th, same time, same room, for an informal second presentation on the Corydoras-adjacent species Scleromystax and Aspidoras. We also heard a rumor that Rob is driving through the West Coast with a carload of fish. Maybe he'll be able to sell some of them at the meeting?
Thank you to everyone who bid, donated, sold, operated computers, ran items, set up and cleaned up at our major auction this year. And a special thanks to the sponsor stores and national companies for your generous donations (some of which were sitting in storage for over two years!).
Our big auctions still remain the primary source of income from the club, and their success means we can pay our rent and Internet video storage bills, bring in top quality speakers, and have nice prizes in our contests throughout the year. Thanks again!

Face masks and proof of vaccination required
Join GSAS for the annual home show presentation on May 10th. We loaded up the blue van and visited 9 members and their families around the Puget Sound region to capture video of their aquariums and hear their stories about why they love what they keep. After last week's big auction, this will be a more relaxed meeting where we get to watch the video together, maybe hear some reactions from Showrunner Mike and the reduced "skeleton crew" from 2022. And we'll have... wait for it...another monthly auction. :) (Members preregister up to 5 items here).
COVID protocols remain in effect: masks and proof of vaccination required indoors. But do not fret -- if you are not able to make the meeting in person, you will be able to watch the video online and participate in the voting for the following week!
Here is the upcoming schedule of GSAS meetings for the second half of the 2021/22 season. As one might expect, this is all subject to change based on pandemic status:
