Join us for an in-person meeting!
Lee Newman, of Vancouver, Canada, has been keeping freshwater fishes for over 50 years – mostly focusing on South American cichlids. He shares a modest fishroom with his wife, Lisa, while working on a long-term project on the identification, ecology, and husbandry of the genus Satanoperca.
Now retired, Lee was a Aquarium Biologist and Curator in the Tropical Department at the Vancouver Aquarium for 33 years. Lee is also an award-winning writer and photographer and has participated in field excursions to Peru, Brazil, and Suriname.
Overview of keeping some species simply for the pleasure of keeping as they appeal in some way, and other species in order to push our knowledge of the rarely-kept, and yet to be spawned in aquaria.
Covid restrictions are lifted, but we ask that the unvaccinated and those that are at high risk / immune-compromised still wear a mask , and everyone else respect others personal boundaries.
All guests are welcome, but if you attend more than twice we ask that you Join or Renew Membership in our club.
