Sacramento Aquarium Society

Bringing Aquarium Hobbyists of the Greater Sacramento Valley Together Since 1952

Welcome

The Sacramento Aquarium Society (SAS) is a local fish club that meets at 3:00 pm on the first Saturday (may change to 2nd Saturday because of a holiday weekend) of each month. We are a registered 501 C (3) non-profit organization with an objective to encourage and further the interest of the care and breeding of tropical fish and to promote the exchange of information between amateur aquarists. Meetings typically include a guest speaker, bowl show, raffle, attendance prize, and an auction which includes fish, aquatic plants, and aquarium supplies. Many of the auction items go for less than wholesale prices.

Next Meeting - April 6th

Program: Dr. Ron Coleman - "Convict Cichlids"
