Join us Saturday, September 6th, 2025 at 6pm for our monthly meeting and auction.

Speaker: Mike Drawdy

Talk Topic: Operating a Fish Farm in Florida

About the Talk:
Mike Drawdy, third generation farmer and owner of Imperial Topicals of Lakeland Florida, will offer us a tour of his fish farm. You’ll learn about fish farming and what is required to successfully bring fish from the farm to your tank.

About the Speaker:
Mike Drawdy, owner of Imperial Tropicals in Lakeland, Florida, is a third generation Florida fish farmer. Because his family had been breeding and raising fish since 1970, Mike literally grew up on the farm.

After spending 4 years serving our country in the United States Marine Corps, he started working at Imperial and has not looked back. Mike keeps and breeds many different types of fish on their farm, including livebearers, tetras, catfishes and cichlids. Mike is always working to introduce new species that would be good for the fish-keeping hobby.

He also loves to share his aquarium fish passion with hobbyists, by aquarium society lecturing and posting entertaining fish farming videos on YouTube and the latest fish pictures on Facebook.
