Our June meeting at the Powell Community Center will be held in the Breakout Room, not Room D as previously announced.
Please refer to the meeting location diagram below for the best entrance to use. We’ll also have signs posted throughout the building to help direct everyone to the meeting room.
HAAS KC is excited to welcome Eric Bodrock of All Oddball Aquatics for a presentation titled “Corydoras Made Easy!”
Eric has been active in the aquarium hobby for more than 50 years and, along with his fiancée Regina Spotti, maintains over 200 aquariums in their home-based hatchery near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Over the years, Eric has successfully spawned more than 550 species of freshwater fish, including 148 species of catfish. He has written articles, judged fish shows, and presented programs throughout the United States and internationally.
His presentation will cover everything you need to know about successfully keeping and spawning Corydoras catfish, including aquarium setup, maintenance, conditioning, spawning triggers, and breeding techniques. Whether you’re new to Corydoras or have years of experience, you’ll come away with valuable information you can put to use in your own fish room.
