Hello everyone
My name's Michael, I'm Canadian and I've been living in Bahrain for about 6 months with my wife and will be here for years. I am crazy about freshwater aquariums and love keeping fish, plants, etc. as close as possible as they would be in their natural habitats.
I've noticed that there is no Aquarium Society or club here in Bahrain and would like to start one. Got any fishkeepers out there? Where are you hiding? The idea would be to meet every month to share experiences, trade or auction fish, invite guest speakers who have travelled or collected fish in the wild, do workshops on setting up aquariums or breeding fish, publish a newsletter, have a website and forum, etc.
Periodically we would have events like auctions, BBQs (LOL but not seafood!!!), workshops, contests for aquascaping or best of breed, lectures from invited guests, and possibly even trips.
Of course it would be open to anyone who keeps or wants to keep aquariums, expats or locals.
Get in touch if you are interested and let's make this happen!
Cheers
Michael
