Please join us, this Wednesday evening, April 16, 2025, at 7:00 for this month's Tropical Fish Society of Rhode Island meeting.
Judy Weinberg: Long-lived Cichlids as Companion Animals
Large cichlids can live as long as dogs and cats, and can display many of the same types of behaviors. They can truly become pets and companion animals.
Judy Weinberg is an unorthodox fish-keeper. Her fish are pets and part of the family. She has also shown her fish across the country and won many awards. Judy shares some of her stories of her pet fish and showing fish, concentrating on Paratilapia from Madagascar.
We also have our usual meeting activities. You may bring any fish or plants you are submitting for the BAP or HAP for auction. You may also bring up to 3 lots for a Buck-a-Bag auction. We plan to have refreshments, a raffle and a short business meeting.
The address of our Wednesday meeting is 19 Mohawk Drive, Riverside, Rhode Island. Mohawk Drive is directly off of Rt 114, the Wampanoag Trail in Riverside. Route 114 is a divided road at the entrance to Mohawk Road. If you are coming from the North you need to go past it to the next turnaround, which is on the left just past the "Welcome to Barrington" Sign. After you turn around, Mohawk Road will be on your right a short distance past the "Anchor Bay Assisted Living" sign. There is a Blue and White sign at the entry of Mohawk Road for the Riverside Sportsmans Association. The building is at the end of the road.
