Not to brag, but I will be speaking in Regina, Saturday November 15th. I will be bringing fish with me to the event and will bring orders with us on a first come first serve basis in regards to available space. For dry goods we will take orders now and put aside for the event. For plants and fish we will accept orders from November 11th onward from stock on hand at that time. I do believe they are opening the doors for non-members on this event to see what they have to offer! For more details feel free to ask.
Next up I believe will be glofish arriving
Cheers
Spencer
The next gathering of the DFO is now set for Saturday, December 13th 5PM
Art Parola - Tampa, Florida -
Expedition Honduras
Art spent much of his childhood covered in mud and creek water, chasing every critter that crawled, slithered, or swam with a butterfly net, and trying to identify them with his collection of field guides. This led him to a career focused on animal welfare, sustainable development, and conservation, particularly through sustainable use policy initiatives. Art is now an attorney for the United States Association of Reptile Keepers (USARK), Legislative and Policy Advisor for Project Piaba, and an Advisory Board member for NAIA, where he leads the CITES Engagement Program. Art’s childhood love for animals and nature has not abated, though he now usually carries a camera instead of a net. His writing and photographs have appeared in numerous online articles, as well as in print publications in multiple countries around the world.
A Fishmas DFO gathering with the most elf..... I mean the shortest hobbyist I know! A match made in heaven! Tickets will be 30.00 for this event including the speaker, dinner and more! (Our deepest sales often are after DFO hours for attendees)
We are committed to not only getting hobbyists together to share their love of fish but bringing in to Winnipeg the best minds in the hobby from around the world. As with this hobby you are never done learning.
Spence's 50th Birthday Weekend!
February 13/14/15, 2026.
NOTE. Have added the late show (930PM) at Rumor's Comedy club on Friday, February 13th - Ryan Belleville. Those booked on this weekend wishing to attend please advise ASAP and I will personally buy tickets for all attending this weekend wishing to go. Why not start a weekend of fish with laughs!
Hans Georg Evers
Hamburg, Germany
Hans is the founding editor of the Amazonas magazine. Hans is a world renowned expert in plecos, rainbow fish, corys among many others. He is also a renowned birder... This will be his second visit to Winnipeg and first in 11 years.
Ad Konings
El Paso, Texas
Ad has always been Spence's idol in fish keeping. Many of his first fish books were that of Ad's. Ad is the world expert on Rift Lake cichlids. While lately he has lost his way and become a birder he is coming out of semi retirement on fish talks for this one event and we cannot be more excited for it. Ad has written dozens of books on cichlids and hundreds of articles. This will be Ad's fourth trip to Winnipeg and first in 13 years.
Spencer Jack
Resident fish pimp.
Spencer will be giving a brand new talk at this event for the first time. A rare time for him to be speaking at home. As a good friend said so wonderfully... "The ginger always tastes better away from home!"
Lee Newman
Port Coquitlam, British Colombia.
Another personal favorite of Spencer's and our token ginger for diversity on the weekend! A world expert on Geophagus species among many more South American species. He has not quite yet started birding but with his recent retirement I am certain it will be any day now... This will be Lee's I believe 5th trip to Winnipeg.
Tickets for this weekend's events will be 100.00. We will be spending every last penny on the event to make as memorable of a weekend as possible for those in attendance. As space will be very limited we will require either full payment or a down payment of 50.00 to hold your spot. If ever you wanted to travel to Winnipeg to see the warehouse this would definitely be the best event for it. (We have passed 70% committed). Any questions do not hesitate to ask!
See Spence Live!
Saturday, November 15th - Regina Aquarium Society - Regina, Saskatchewan
