Have quite limited space for a new tank? Like peaceful, planted tanks? Like a new challenge? Tire of fish or want something to complement them? Like to use a magnifying glass when watching your pets? Enjoy a snack that goes well with lime juice and avocado? Have a girl/boyfriend in fisheries that you want to see more often?
Well you better hustle on down to the June PCS meeting, where Ciaran will be talking about:
Freshwater Shrimp
Ciaran has considerable experience around these cute crustaceans, and will be covering topics including tank and water requirements, varieties in the hobby- both native and non-native, basic shrimp husbandry, what they eat, what eats them (stocking tanks and compatibility of various tankmates), hardware requirements, how to construct shrimp armour, breeding, recipes, compatible plants and tank scaping. That and much more!
And if that’s not enough, attendees will also be treated to:
- Cam and Az's sausage turning prowess in the PCS kitchen – cool drinks also available, along with fresh coffee
- The PCS library, with a huge collection of fish literature available for loan to members
- The cichlid and catfish PCS show table, where you can participate and/or view some of the prized fish of fellow members. Every entrant wins a prize!
- Some cool PCS merchandise items up for sale
- And of course the Sponsors raffle table, where you can win some fantastic prizes. (TBA)
- The Shrimp Display competition! Winning shrimp wins a $30 voucher!
- The kitchen will be adding prawn skewers to the menu: See the pet, eat the pet!
