For anyone who has been accused of being a geek and a bore because they keep fish - here is evidence that we can be "wild and crazy guys!"
The October issue of Buntbarsche Bulletin (a publication from American Cichlid Association) contained a few interesting notes about the convention that was held in July. Evidently the Discus Study Group had an elaborate evident - with coolers full of beverages, fake palm trees and blow up furniture. Most of the furniture had been removed (of which the hotel was not notified) and plexi glass tanks covered 2 walls. Now the hotel knew in advance that there would be tanks in certain rooms but were totally unaware of this room. Anyway, it seems that during the Study Group, a rack of tanks fell over and shattered resulting in an inch of water in the room one floor down. The hotel thought a pipe broke and turned off the water. Then the hotel demanded that the fish sellers in 24 rooms to shut down and remove the tanks!
Funny, the article didn't mention anything about the Discus that would have been flopping around on the no-doubtedly orange shag carpet. Can you see this picture in your mind? Sort of like Animal House - except Bolushi yells "Fish Fight" and the discus take flight.
Wish I could have been there. Did anyone from MFT go to the show?
