Coming up: SPRING SWAP

Mark your calendars because Saturday, May 11th is going to be a fin-tastic day at the HAAS KC Spring SWAP, located at:

8029 Northoak Trafficway, KCMO 64118.

Admission is free!

Swap Starts: 11am to 2pm, so don’t miss out on the excitement!

Join us for a full afternoon dedicated to all things aquatics! From vibrant fish to freshwater plants, decor, and equipment, there’s something for every enthusiast, all offered at fantastic deals from local breeders, vendors, and hobbyists.

It’s not just about shopping; it’s a chance to mingle with fellow enthusiasts, swap stories, and discover new additions for your aquariums. Whether you’re a seasoned seller, avid buyer, or simply looking to connect with like-minded individuals, this event is for you!

We’re thrilled to announce the return of our Event Bowl Show, following the spectacular success of April’s Bowl Show where Jack Taylor claimed victory with his stunning community long white fin pleco bowl! The competition was fierce, and the creativity was off the charts.

But that’s not all! March’s Spring Auction bowl show was also a resounding success, and due to popular demand, we’re bringing it back for the swap! This time, the theme is “Homebred or Home Grown.” Showcase what you’ve personally bred in your tanks or the plants and corals you’ve nurtured. The rules are simple: Keep it on theme, keep it under 5 gallons, and most importantly, keep it fun! (Remember, our bowls are temporary and not permanent homes for the fauna on display. Let’s practice good husbandry together!)

As the swap approaches, stay tuned for a general list of items lined up.
Vendor registration is now OPEN! Hurry, as we have a limit of 40 tables available. Reserve your spot early using this Google link: https://forms.gle/K7AB7cfBJB6cm2Yt5

We can’t wait to see you there, ready to dive into a day filled with aquatic wonders!
