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 - October 5th
Program: Anthony I. Mazeroll, Ph.D. - "Amazon Research Center for Ornamental Fishes"
Fall Swap Meet, Sunday September 22nd
Our Swap Meets are a really fun way to get fish, plants, aquarium supplies, and yes - aquariums!
It will be at our usual venue, in the space behind Round Table Pizza, 9500 Greenback Ln, Folsom, California.
The indoor meeting room will be open for pizza and drinks, giving you the opportunity to hang out with other aquarists and local breeders.
Please let Jan Nolta know if you would like to reserve a spot to bring a table ($20 donation to SAS, per seller spot). We encourage members to team up with another person to split the table fee. We can fit about 20 tables (tables not provided!), we recommend bringing a 10x10 popup tent to protect your fish and plants from the sun.
