QAH (Queensland Aquarium Hobbyists)Queensland Aquarium Hobbyists meetings include guest speakers talking on a wide range of topics including, how to keep particular species of fish, showing fish, general maintenance, setup of tanks, aquarium husbandry and other fish related topics. Meetings also consist of a combination of the following: presentations by club members, Fish of Month talks, Spawning’s, Losses and Acquisitions, Slide shows, Videos, hands-on workshops and because the club considers the social part of the club to be very important, plenty of time to just sit and chat. As enthusiasts with a common passion we can learn from each other’s experiences whether it be optimally maintaining a single tank or breeding that difficult to spawn species. Members come from all walks of life and meet in a social atmosphere to enhance their own knowledge and have a bit of fun. You never know when you will meet that person that has a key piece of information that can help you. Every Second month instead of a meeting QAH has workshops, collecting trips or other social outings. QAH also holds other events such as: aquarium & fish shows, camping weekends and auctions. |
