Gary Lange: “Everything You Wanted to Know About Rainbowfish (But Were Afraid to Ask)”
Both meetings at SPU, Otto Miller Hall Room 109
The Greater Seattle Aquarium Society (gsas.org) is pleased to be kicking off our 2025-2026 season with a perennial favorite of our club members Gary Lange. Gary (fish explorer, author, and master breeder) will be doing two talks for our club.
At our regular club meeting Saturday, September 13th, Gary’s talk will be “Everything You Wanted to Know About Rainbowfish (But Were Afraid to Ask),” which Gary says will cover “How to keep them happy, all about Rainbowfish Sex, how to raise the fry and how to keep your fish pure and uncrossed! I’ll go over some of my techniques.”
We also have a special bonus meeting the evening before - on Friday, September 12th at 7:00 PM at the same location, where his talk will be “Exploring Yapen Island, Waropen and one more visit to the Wapoga”, and details his 8th trip to Papua in search of new and rare species. He’ll also spend a few minutes discussing a trip to Australia, and the 2024 IRG rainbowfish conference in Germany and the new rainbowfish from that visit.
Gary will have his famous Rainbowfish egg kits to auction, at both meetings!
After the main presentation, stay for the Monthly Auction (sellers, pre-register your stuff here).
Hope everyone's having a great summer. The Greater Seattle Aquarium Society Fall Schedule is out, and we have an incredible line-up for the next four months. We'll modify this post as soon as we get rental date and time from SPU, but we're trying for all second Saturdays.
A big thank you to everyone who came out in force to our record-breaking general auction this year, especially to all our volunteers who worked tirelessly the whole day. And a special thanks to the sponsor stores and national companies.
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!
Thanks to all who attended our record-breaking plant and fish auction this month, from the bidders and sellers, to the auctioneers, recorders, check-in table, runners and all the other volunteers. We hope everyone came home with something interesting for their aquariums. And a special thanks to the generous donations from Florida Aquatic Nurseries, and our sponsor stores Aquarium Zen, Aquarium Co-Op and The Arium Store!
