What would it take?

It would be great for reefers to get with the CAS, but you still have a two distinct groups already, those who raise African cichlids and those who don't, bringing a third group into the mix, might only make 3 seperate groups under one roof, with less time divoted to each.
Just my opinion but killi owners don't want to listen to a cichlid talk and visa versa, with 3 different groups????
But maybe I'm out to lunch and it might work.
Good luck, and I am a member and do appreciate alot of things the club has to offer.

Thank you all for your input.

Delphinus: i have to agree with you. Yes there is primarily a strong freshwater presence with the society as it stands. I also have to agree with the idea of 2 clubs in Calgary. However, with this I honestly believe that the 2 clubs would have to coexist and have some sort of transferance between them.

I do think that it would be possible to have all aquatic hobbiests under one roof and have a peaceful coexistance. Though it may be a slower transition, i see the potential of good and also the potential for disaster (what can i say, i am a realist).

I think that these initial posts and discussions are a great step forward. I would really like to think that it would be possible for having all aquarium keepers to meet together, but as forementioned, i see the greater probability of segregation.

keep em coming!
