Dean’s Fish at GPAS

Dean Tweeddale is an accomplished breeder of aquarium fish and long-time member of the Greater Seattle Aquarium Society. Dean is well known for “Dean’s Fishroom” segments on social media and his speaking engagements at a variety of aquarium conferences and events. Coming to us from the Seattle area, Dean is like our cousin from up north! Be sure to catch Dean’s talk on August 13th at our regular club meeting time of 1200 at the Moose lodge. He has a “system” for breeding and raising fry that he will discuss and he might allow some question and answer time to share even more of his vast experience with attendees. We look forward to seeing Dean.
