Chairman’s Message
Hello Everyone,
Spring is finally upon those of us in the Northeast, and the
convention is only a couple of weeks away! I hope to see
many of you in Detroit at the end of the month. It is never too
late to sign up for the convention, so even if you haven't
already made plans, it is not too late to reconsider. If you have
never been to a fish convention, you don't know what you are
missing! There is a fantastic speaker lineup, there will be
hundreds of pairs of killifish to see and purchase, and the
camaraderie that can only be found in a room full of people
who share a common interest in colorful, little, ditch fish!
Even if you can't make the convention in person, you can enter
the Photo Competition. The rules are on the AKA home page, but hurry. The deadline is
May 20th.
If you are interested in participating in the AKA, it is now time to consider nominating
yourself to run for the Board of Trustees. Every year, three positions open up on the
Board and we need 8 or so volunteers who are willing to run. Our Founding Members
were wise enough to require more nominees than there are seats so that we have a real
election each year. It is not a large time commitment and you would have a voice in
directing how the AKA operates. If you are interested, please contact Charlie Nunziata
and let him know.
I would like to welcome Bob Meyer to the position of Membership Chair. Our long-time
Membership Chair, Jim Randall, has asked to retire and Bob was kind enough to
volunteer. Jim will be continuing in the position until the Convention where he will pass
the torch to Bob. I cannot thank Jim enough for his service to the AKA. When an update
to our web site software last Autumn required us to change the way we handle
memberships and renewals, Jim was indispensable in keeping memberships up to date and
answering all your needs. The transition has not always been easy but Jim has always
been there to help. There is still work to do to make everything work as seamlessly as it
should, but I don't think that we would have gotten this far without Jim's patience and
caring for each member. Thank you.
I would like to thank AKA member Joe Ferdenzi and the members of the Greater City
Aquarium Society in New York. They invited me to speak at their May meeting and were
most gracious hosts. Greater City Aquarium Society is a very active club and I saw a lot
of friends at the meeting. They also produce one of the finest newsletters in the hobby,
Modern Aquarium, back issues of which are available on their web site. I would also like
to thank Joe and his wife, Anita, for their hospitality. I should also mention that Joe is the
Chair of the Beginner's Committee, so if any new members have questions, please feel
free to contact him. Joe is a true Renaissance Man and even advanced aquarists can learn
a lot from him. I know I did!
Finally, I have been given a large number of old aquarium hobby periodicals. The
copyright has expired on many of them. I plan to scan some of the killifish-related articles
and put them in the Member's Library for all AKA members to enjoy. One of these
articles is from William T. Innes' "The Aquarium". I found a 1932 article on keeping the
Blue Gularis, then known as Fundulopanchax coeruleus, by Allen S. Moody. Interestingly
the article states "This is one of our most gorgeously colored aquarium fish. It is still
classed as a rarity, as few breeders have mastered the difficulties of spawning it in
captivity." That was 83 years ago and still, few breeders have mastered the emblem fish
of the AKA! I will add more articles as time permits so keep checking the Member's
Library periodically for the latest additions.
Best wishes,
Rich Pierce,
Chairman

In memory of
Roger Langton
Roger Langton passed on April 25,
2015
It is with great sadness to report that
Roger Langton, a long time stalwart of
the A.K.A. passed away on April 25th
after a long illness. He was 80 years
old. The members and officers of the
American Killifish Association extend
their profound sympathy to the
Langton family for their loss. Roger
can never be replaced, and he will
remain in the hearts of family and
friends throughout their lives.
Roger was a major factor in the growth
of the A.K.A. as an international
organization, and remained involved in
the hobby throughout his adult life. A
member of the first generation
succeeding the founders, Roger held a
prominent role in A.K.A. operations for six decades. He held a number of offices throughout the years,
served several BOT terms and a number of years as JAKA Editor. He authored nearly 50 articles for
JAKA and became widely known as a talented killifish breeder who brought a number of innovations and
discoveries to the killifish hobby.
Even more importantly, he was a visionary, seeing the role of diversity and conservation in the survival of
the hobby, and had a strong sense of the challenges the hobby would face in the future. He founded several
conservation efforts and projects, culminating in the organization of the Killifish Conservation Committee
and the innovative core species approach to maintaining representations of the enormous variety within
the killifish complex. Roger’s proudest achievement was his founding of the George Maier Fund, now the
only tax exempt entity exclusively devoted to funding the study of killifish. He worked tirelessly to assure
its success, and facilitated major contributions that allowed the Fund to flourish. In this spirit, the family
has requested that in lieu of honoraria, donations be made to the George Maier Fund.
He will be missed by all those who had the pleasure of knowing him, working with him, and benefiting
from his counsel. Mentor, teacher, friend, God’s speed Roger.

News
2016 BOT Nominations are now due
2016 Board of Trustees Nominations
All members support our organization in any of a number of ways. One of the most important contributions, perhaps the
most important one can make, is to serve as a member of the Board of Trustees. The importance of this position cannot be
overstated. It provides an opportunity to directly influence the operations of the club and determine our future course. We
urge all members to consider contributing in this way, and to lend their experience and knowledge to the benefit of all.
The Board manages all the affairs of the organization, appoints committee heads and audits the performance of all club
functions. The Board consists of nine (9) members. Three members are elected each year for a three year term.
We are accepting nominations through May 31, 2015 for the term 2016-2018. The election will take during the month of
September. The three Board-Elect members will assume office on January 1, 2016. Please review the Bylaws, Article IV for
board member duties and responsibilities, and the BOT Procedures Manual for detailed operating methods. You may find
both on the website at: www.aka.org. The AKA Bylaws are available in the Public Library section and both the Bylaws and
the BOT Manual are available in the Member's Library.
Any member in good standing can nominate one’s self, or any other member in good standing. Names are to be submitted to
the Nominations Committee via e-mail or telephone, and the committee will discuss some additional steps to complete the
nomination process. Final approval rests with the current Board.
The only limitation to the process relates to the geographic disposition policy provided by the bylaws. Specifically, no more
than three board members may reside in the same region, defined below, and no more than two in the same state.
Regions defined:
Region 1: Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington.
Region 2: Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South
Dakota, Texas, Utah, Wyoming.
Region 3: Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Wisconsin.
Region 4: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Vermont.
Region 5: Alabama, Arkansas, DC, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia.
Region 6: Canada (all provinces) and all other areas of the world not covered in Regions 1-5
The Board Members returning in 2016 are distributed as follows, in Region Order:
BOT Member
Art Leuterman
Dave Hemmerlein

As a result of the current distribution, no additional member from the state of Massachusetts is allowable, and only 1 more
member from Region 3 or 4 is electable. Currently regions 1 and 6 will be unrepresented so it is especially desirable for
people from these regions to run so all regions have representation on the Board of Trustees.
Now is the time to step up: Please send nominations to Charlie Nunziata at [email protected], (T) 727-393-3757.

Board of Trustees Business Update
Art Leuterman -- AKA Secretary
The BOT had two discussions topics to wrestle with this month:
#1 - Awards and Honors - a lively discussion of the qualifications of potential recipients and the various criteria
needed to reach qualifying levels occurred. The recipients will be announced at Nationals.
#2 - Committee Chair Replacement - the BOT was notified that long time Membership Chair, Jim Randall,
wishes to retire. Bob Meyer volunteered to replace him and was unanimously approved by the BOT.

The following
memberships are
due for renewal in
the month of May.
If you have
recently renewed
your membership,
you can ignore this
reminder. Members

(active) subscription with Pay Pal should check
to make sure it was paid. Also it is for the correct
amount. The fees for US memberships are: $29.
(US funds). All of the membership fees are listed
on the AKA web site.
Because the AKA takes advantage of the
electronic version of the BNL only, this helps to
keep costs down to the AKA, and thus keeping
dues at the current rates. And it is also good for
the environment!
You can renew your membership on line at the
AKA web site or you can send me a check made
out to the AKA to this address: Jim Randall
(AKA membership), 823 Park Avenue, Albany,
NY. 12208. If you are mailing your dues and
have internet access please send me a note that
you are doing so at: [email protected] You
may also use that address to pay using Pay Pal.
If you have an exchange membership that is on
this list contact the person you are doing the
exchange with and let them know it is due and
whether you will be paying for it. If you are
paying for an exchange please let us know
exactly who the payment is for. The same applies
to a “gift” membership .We need to know
exactly who the payment is for. If you have any
questions, please contact me.
PLEASE NOTE ALL PAYMENTS NEED TO
BE IN US FUNDS!
Thank you,
Jim Randall membership committee
If you are not going to renew your
membership please inform me. It will
save you getting reminders emailed to
you. Also if you have a pay pal
subscription canceling it will not tell me
if you are not renewing.

mailing address or your email address.
Please check your mailing information

simply e-mail your name and e-mail address
to [email protected]. The coordinators will
send you a link you can use to download the

Please be sure that the contact information
contains the recipient's name, address and email address. If you present at a club, you are

AKA Committee Reports
The George Maier Fund
The annual fund-raiser at the annual A.K.A. convention will feature the following
silent auction items:
Limited Edition Photographs:
Three (3) limited edition photographs from master photographer Tony Terceira.
8” x 10” matted and signed, these full color photos will be one each of a very
limited run, only issued by Tony. This year’s offerings include a magnificent photo
of displaying maleFundulopanchax arnoldi Ughellia NG MM14, an intensely colored
Fundulopanchax deltaensis Bolouangiama, and a wonderful native, a wild caught
melanistic male Fundulus chrysotus.
Original Art:
Three (3) original paintings, donated by well known artist Ken McKeighan are
significant works each presenting a group of six species. One depicts our
southwest pupfish of the genus Cyprinodon, another of a sampling of
Fundulopanchax paraphyosemion species, and the last of the “Bivittatum”
Aphyosemion chromaphyosemion species. The retail value of these original works
exceeds $1,500.
Books:
As has become our custom, we once again offer three (3) books for the silent
auction:
“American Aquarium Fishes” is perhaps the best book ever published about North
American native fishes. It is the work of our JAKA Editor, and world renowned
scientist, Dr. Robert J. Goldstein. This marvelous book covers most aquarium
friendly native fishes in 428 indexed pages, includes a number of color plates and
provides a compilation of maintenance and breeding information now where else
available. A “must have” for the native fish library.
“Killis of the Lost World”, the first of a 4 volume set by noted author, collector and
breeder, Frans Vermuellen was published just last month and contains not only an
excellent review of South American species, but is sprinkled with personal
observations and vignettes that are both interesting and informative. A unique
volume, signed by the author.
“The Florida Collecting Guide, 4th. ed. Another publication just released is the
Florida Collecting Guide, produced by the members of the Suncoast Killifish
Society. This updated and autographed edition of this popular and useful book
contains nearly 300 color photos and over 160 pages that include 230 fully
documented sites, GPS and species data for each, collecting techniques and other
information of use to the collector of killifish and other native and exotic fishes in
Florida.
Come by and look at our display – bid on one of these wonderful items and
support the George Maier Fund, the only tax-exempt charity that exclusively
supports the study of killifish.
