News and Updates

July 2009 Speaker: The Pacific Coast Cichlid Association is proud to announce
Mr. Dick Au, San Francisco, CA, as our speaker on July 11, 2009

Mr. Dick Au has been involved with discus for over forty years. His first experience with
discus dated back to the early 1950's when he observed the first commercial spawning of
brown discus while working in a fish farm in Asia.

A well-known breeder of aquarium fishes, he consistently produces quantities of quality
discus year after year.

He has received numerous awards for contributions to the aquarium hobby as well as lifetime
memberships to several societies. Insisting on keeping discus as a hobby and not as a
business, the author spends much time giving lectures at aquarium societies, judging fish
shows, and writing about discus.

"Trophy Discus - How to Select & Groom�, is a program which will also include a dozen
photos and comments on the 2009 Singapore Aquarama. Please join us on July 11, 2009,
at 4400 Stevens Creek Blvd, San Jose, CA 95129.

Effective with your next renewal, the Cichlid Blues publication will only be available in PDF
format, which will be emailed to you. This is due to the rising costs of the publications and
most other fish club are moving to this format. The PCCA could raise dues but we feel that it
is better to try and cut costs. The cost of your dues (printed) does not cover the costs of the
publications. Please make sure that the PCCA has your emails address to receive the
Cichlid Blues. If your do not have email, copies of the Cichlid Blues will be available at the
General Membership meetings. Sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause. For
