There’s nothing like a group of passionate hobbyists to get you excited about your new aquarium endeavor. I should know – I’ve been a member of my local aquarium club since I was a kid. The wealth of knowledge and experience that members are willing to share is invaluable, and there’s always someone on hand to offer advice or help troubleshoot any problems you may be having.
In addition, aquarium hobbyist clubs and societies often host field trips and workshops, giving you the opportunity to learn more about the hobby and meet other like-minded people. So if you’re thinking about setting up an aquarium, be sure to look for a local club or society – you’ll be glad you did!
Below is a list of local aquarium & pond clubs and societies across the United States and other countries. If you don’t see your club on the list, please contact us, and we’ll be happy to add it.
Note: To be listed, clubs need to be non-profit, hobby-based organizations with a focus on aquariums and/or ponds. Listings are FREE.
