For over 70 years, we have been the hub for aquarium enthusiasts in the Kansas City area, fostering a love for aquatic life and creating lasting connections among fellow hobbyists. Whether you're a seasoned aquarium veteran or just dipping your toes into the world of fishkeeping, our club warmly welcomes you. Our diverse community is built on the shared joy of exploring the fascinating realm of underwater ecosystems.
Join us every second Saturday of the month (dates subject to change) for our lively in-person meetings, where you can engage with like-minded individuals, share experiences, and gain valuable insights into the world of aquariums. Our meetings provide a platform for learning, networking, and, most importantly, forming friendships that last a lifetime.
For those who prefer the convenience of the digital world, our open forum is a vibrant space where you can post questions, offer assistance to fellow hobbyists, or even find new homes for your extra fish or gear. Have a tank issue? Want to show off your aquascape? Looking to sell something fishy? The forum is the best place to connect with the community for all hobby-related conversation.
If you have questions about membership, events, or anything related to the club, you’re welcome to post in the forum—our team and community members are happy to help. For private or administrative inquiries, such as issues with your account or website, please use the Contact Us form.

Our Spring Aqua Swap is shaping up to be a big one! With over 30 tables already reserved, this event will be packed with local hobbyists offering a huge variety of aquatic treasures—from vibrant fish and shrimp to rare aquatic plants, driftwood, tanks, equipment, and more.
Whether you're building your first tank, hunting for something rare, or just want to talk shop with other fish nerds, there's something here for everyone. This is a great chance to buy directly from other hobbyists, ask questions, share knowledge, and maybe even make a few new fishy friends.
Admission is completely free and open to all ages. You don’t have to be a club member to attend—just show up, take a look around, and enjoy the fun. We recommend bringing cash and a cooler (trust us, you’ll want one).
Thinking about selling? We still have a few tables left—grab one before they’re gone!
