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.

May 2012 Program (5/3/12 @ 7:30pm) – “The Shell Dwellers of Lake Tanganyika”:
This month we’ll be treated to a presentation on one of the most fascinating Cichlid types. Visiting hobbyist Tom Henderson and his wife Kay will get to enjoy our Raleigh hospitality and talk to us about some of Tom’s favorite fish. Tom has been in the hobby for over 40 years and he and Kay own KT Aquatics which specializes in Tanganyikan Cichlids (with a couple of Malawians thrown in for good measure). As always, keep those silent auction and raffle items coming in. You can still get up to five free raffle tickets when you donate up to five items for our monthly meeting raffle. If you have any non-raffle fish or plants for use in the silent auction, please contact Larry Jinks so he can alert the membership of your special items.
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. See the latest newsletter for the dates of the business meetings.
