Topic: Essential DIY Skills for Your Dream Fish Room

Speakers Bios: Blake and SJ

Blake and Sonia (SJ) Jimenez-Calhoun are a married couple from Barboursville, VA with a dual love of freshwater fish keeping. SJ has kept fish off and on for more than 20 years, most recently re-entering the hobby in 2018. Blake had one goldfish as a child unsuccessfully. After moving in together in 2019 Blake grew fond of aquascaping, breeding fish, and what she calls “fish room engineering”. If SJ thinks it, Blake builds it! The couple expanded from one tank to more than 100 tanks over the last 6 years. By day Blake and SJ spend their time advising students at the University of Virginia. By night they pick spawning mops, feed off brine shrimp, and talk fish.

Coming Up: Holiday Party just around the corner! Be on the lookout for more details on our forum page!

Spare 40 breeder?

Anyone have a spare 40b floating around? Looking for one for a sump, so doesn't need to be nice.

Free Pond Goldfish

Hey all,

I'm wondering if anyone has an outdoor pond and might be looking for some smaller goldfish residents? They are about 4". My relative's pond is being renovated into a flower bed and there are about 20 remaining fish seeking safe homes before the ponds freeze over this winter.

Please let me know!
Thanks,
Grace

November 9, 2024 In-Person - CCA- My Group Action @ Glenallan Elementary School

We have created an auction for the November 9, 2024 in-person CCA meeting. Users of the website must register on the CCA MyGroupAuction website: mygroupauctions.com. Sellers are encouraged to upload a photo of the fish/item to be auctioned. These items can be viewed by all registered users before the auction.

CCA's board of directors has voted to allow the use of the minimum bid space on the MY GROUP AUCTIONS (MGA) website. Specifically the BOD approved the use of the minimum bid in the following manner: Bidding for any item with a minimum bid on its label will start at that amount and proceed as normal for any auction. If the minimum bid is not met, the owner of the item will take the item back into his possession. If the owner is not present to take back his item that did not sell, the minimum bid indicated on the label will not be in effect and so there will be minimum bid on the item.
If you have any questions, please ask.

As always, donations are welcomed.


Please review the auction rules.
