Catfish and Bottom Dwellers

WE ARE REMODELING
Our website lacked a webmaster and was lost during the disarray of COVID. We are rebuilding it. The forum bulletin board is ready to go with an updated version that will now also work on phones! Soon, we will proceed to install the other pages and features, with plans to modernize the site. Welcome back!
NOTE: We had to restore data from a very old 6/20/2017 backup version of our database. So if you opened your account after that date, it will be missing and you will need to create a new account.

The NWAAS April 8th program is "The Aquarium in Your Backyard (Native Fishes)," by Kevin Mouser. Come learn which natives fishes and critters are good candidates for your home aquarium. Find more information HERE.
