Below is our updated schedule which now includes preliminary information on the April 16 - 17, 2011 California Guppy Group Show to be held in San Diego, and is a product of cooperation by the San Diego Tropical Fish Society, IFGA, San Diego Guppy Association, Pan Pacific Guppy Association and the San Fernando Valley Guppy Club. As you can see there are a lot of organizations, and even more people involved. This is an exciting event for guppy breeders and you may well want to attend even if guppies are not your primary interest.

But meanwhile don't forget the Home Aquaria, Fish Room and Hatchery Tour on June 19th. See below for more info.
