The purpose of the Raleigh Aquarium Society is to increase the enjoyment and general knowledge of the aquarium hobby for both novices and experienced hobbyists. Society activities include presentations, field trips, sharing information, trading fish and plants, observation of fishes and aquatic life in aquaria and in their native habitat.
Give us a visit! We have monthly meetings at 7:30pm on the first Thursday of each month at the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine Research Building to discuss fishkeeping as a hobby with guest speakers.
We also
have an annual workshop and auction plus
a summer picnic.

Annual Workshop and Auction. See you next year!

Thursday September 2nd, 2010 Club Meeting:
Guatemala by Eric Hanneman
Guatemala is situated between Mexico, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador. Eric has been to Guatemala twice and explored Lake Izabal, Lake Peten Itza, and some of the other rivers and lakes in the region. The area is home to many of the cichlids we know from the pet trade and many others most people are not too familiar with, and to ruins of the Maya. Many livebearers, tetras, and catfish also call Guatemala their home.
Don't forget to bring those extras from home for the raffle table to receive extra tickets for our ever-expanding monthly raffles.
Business meetings are open to everyone who is interested in participating in Committees, general business of the club and the Workshop and Swap Meet planning. The Business Meetings are open to anyone who is interested in participating in the business and future plans for the club. Meetings are held at the same location as the regular meetings at 7:30pm.
