I saw this on CL..lol. we should have a WAFB meet up! Grab some tacos, check out the lecture.

Wow I would have never thought people would
lecture on fish keeping sounds sooo formal.

I just copied and pasted from what Roy a main member on there put on the planted tank....

I think we should have a WAfishbox meet up, maybe grab some dinner somewhere before the lecture.

I think it costs $15 for a year's membership. You get a little card to add to all the other cards in your wallet, but that card gets you from 5% and up to 20% off of purchases at sponsor fish stores. If you're a frequent shopper at those stores, it'll pay for itself quickly. (Spyral, APFP is one of the sponsors. )

I'm not interested in discus and won't be going to this meeting, but I will definitely be at the next one where the presentation is about plecos!

ooohhh...a card? Ok..I may have to join.

Yes a card! And there is a picture of a fish on it!

Betty wrote:Yes a card! And there is a picture of a fish on it!

1) Can I pick the fish?

2) Can the card be used as legal identification outside the GSAS meeting?

3) Has anyone ever successfully used the card to teleport to another dimension?

lol @ your third question!

1) Probably not.

2) Probably not.

3) Probably not.

i dont know if really want to go to this... cause I just sold all my discus... guess it will still be a cool learning experience.... darn, Now I am confused if i should go or not!

another dimension. lol. 2D ouch.

Go! Its really fun and you can buy tons of fish, talk with lots of other hobbyists, but you can't sell unless you are a member. Which if you are younger (like me) you only have to pay $10.00 for membership. Where should we meet though? Somewhere cheap but nice....red robin perhaps?

I suggest making a new thread about a meet-up.
I'm down to meet!!

Its tomorrow!

I'm going; who else?

I'm thinking of going but I'm not 100% sure yet

Me
Protocl; what do you look like or something that I can know to find you? Will you be carrying a red rose?

I'm thinking of going as well, I will know fo sho tomorrow.

I'll be the only Asian guy...besides dick au.

Lol

i'm planning to take photos, so I'll be carrying a camera back pack.
How would i know wfb members? May be wear name tags??

I have a tattoo of a Frontosa on my right fore arm. If you see a guy with that tattoo, and it isn't me..Kill him, he is an evil impostor from another dimension sent to destroy this world.
