Blake and SJ Jimenez-Calhoun are a married couple from Barboursville, VA with a dual love of freshwater fish keeping. SJ has kept fish off and on for more than 20 years, most recently re-entering the hobby in 2018. Blake had one goldfish as a child unsuccessfully. After moving in together in 2019 Blake grew fond of aquascaping, and later breeding fish. The couple expanded from one tank to more than 100 tanks over the last 5 years. By day Blake and SJ spend their time advising students at the University of Virginia. By night they pick spawning mops, feed off brine shrimp, and talk fish. There will be a special dinner to celebrate Marty Verdery’s many contributions to the JRAS over the years. Please join us for pizza and cake at Logo Advantage at 6:00 pm to wish her well, as she departs for her new home in North Carolina

Annual Spring Fling. There will be presentations in the morning and an auction in the afternoon.
