Like to meet new friends? Interested in learning more about the tropical fish you keep? Then perhaps you should consider joining a local tropical fish club.

Joining a local fish club is a great way to meet other folks interested in aquariums and tropical fish. Here in NJ we have two great clubs NJAS (North Jersey Aquarium Society) and JSAS (Jersey Shore Aquarium Society).

Most fish clubs meet monthly. Each meeting consists of club business/news, a speaker or slideshow and a small auction of fish and aquatic plants. You can get great tips and information talking with other hobbyist. When I built my own fishroom I learned from fellow club members how to setup a PVC air system to deliver pumped air to my growing number of tanks.
