This August we are delighted to welcome our guest speaker, Jeff Cardwell.

Jeff Cardwell has been active in the aquarium hobby for 40 years. He maintains over 70 aquaria and his interests and expertise extend to catfish, killies, rainbowfishes and cichlids. Jeff has traveled extensively to collect aquarium fishes in Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Surinam, Uruguay, Mexico, the Bahamas and the U.S. Virgin Islands. An enthusiastic keeper of North America's native fishes, his collecting trips have also taken him to many parts of the United States. Both as a speaker and a judge, Jeff has been a familiar figure at shows throughout the Midwest for more than twenty years. He is an active member of the American Cichlid Association, the American Killifish Association, the American Rainbow Fish Society, the Apistogramma Study Group and the Cichlasoma Study Group.

While we do not yet know the topic of Jeff's discussion at our next meeting, his broad experience is sure to provide an enjoyable meeting for everyone who attends. We look forward to seeing everyone there.
