    A note from the board:

    It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our friend and fellow club member, Rolf Wilhelm.

    Rolf was a valued part of our fish club community, and his loss is deeply felt by all of us who had the privilege of knowing him and sharing this hobby alongside him.

    Out of respect for Rolf, his family, and our club members during this difficult time, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our upcoming meeting. A group of long-time club members will be at Rolf’s house on Saturday to rescue fish and remove tanks at the request of his family.

    Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Rolf’s family, friends, and everyone in our community who knew and cared for him.

    Thank you for your understanding, and please keep Rolf’s family and loved ones in your thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.

    Rolf will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace.

  • AUCTION AND SALES INFORMATION

    Most monthly meetings include an auction.

    🦐 Paid members get an 80%-20% split on items they bring while it is 60%-40% for non-member sellers.

    🐠 Be sure to label your items accurately and legibly and get them checked in at the beginning of the meeting.

    🌿 Please only bring bags of water for the animals, plants travel better damp not wet. Make sure your bags or containers are secure!

    🎈🎈 To keep the auction process smooth and efficient, dry goods such as hardscape, equipment in good working condition, and other supplies are limited to 5 items per seller.🎈🎈
