Saturday, June 13th, 1:00 PM - “Keeping Freshwater Puffers”
SPU, Otto Miller Hall Room 109
Bonus informal talk Friday evening June 12 at Romeo's Pizza in Edmonds
Matt Proctor, aka The Mountain Top Puffer Keeper, is a hobbyist specializing in the keeping and breeding of freshwater pufferfish. If you haven't seen his Instagram or YouTube content, you might have read one of his articles in Amazonas magazine, or even purchased his recently published book Freshwater Pufferfish Made Easy.
Matt will be presenting a talk about the keeping and raising of a variety of commonly-available puffers at our June 13th meeting.
In addition, he will be speaking at a small bonus gathering on the night before -- Friday June 12 at Romeo's Pizza in Edmonds. Order some food and hang with the speaker at 6 PM, talk begins promptly at 7.
After the presentation on Saturday, stay for our Monthly Auction after (sellers, pre-register your stuff here).
Finally, this is our last meeting of the 2025-26 season before we break for summer, so we'll be holding elections of board members for the 2026-27. If interesting in running for the board, please e-mail us at info@gsas.org
A big thank you to everyone who came out in force to our record-breaking general auction this year, especially to all our volunteers who worked tirelessly the whole day. And a special thanks to the sponsor stores and national companies.
Our big auctions still remain the primary source of income from the club, and their success means we can pay our rent and Internet video storage bills, bring in top quality speakers, and have nice prizes in our contests throughout the year. Thanks again!
Our new CAP chair Terrance has brought back a favorite contest -- the Great White Cloud Race!
GSAS is proud to announce that registration is now open for the All-Aquarium Catfish Convention! Read our convention page for full details on the seven amazing speakers, banquet, field trip, shirts and yes, the return of the pub glass!
Thanks to all who attended our record-breaking plant and fish auction this month, from the bidders and sellers, to the auctioneers, recorders, check-in table, runners and all the other volunteers. We hope everyone came home with something interesting for their aquariums. And a special thanks to the generous donation from Florida Aquatic Nurseries!
The back half of the season is going to be amazing -- just look at what's in store:
