Braz Walker (deceased), perhaps the best known of Texas’ aquarists, set a standard for contributions to the hobby that may never be surpassed.
Though paralyzed from the neck down from an accident while a college student, Braz managed to keep, breed, write about, and photograph a number of aquarium fishes, notably cichlids.
He published articles in a number of club publications, science journals and aquarium magazines, as well as several books.
