Attention All Aquarists & Aquabotanists!
YOU do NOT WANT TO MISS THIS ACTION-PACKED AUCTION....
The auction you all heard about, or experienced, that brought hobbyists from Seven States to standing-room only, is our GIANT SPRING TROPICAL FISH AUCTION AND FUNDRAISER! This is a LIVESTOCK auction (fish/plants/inverts). Dry goods are minimal so the focus is on the fish (yes, there are that many and it goes all day!). Sell your surplus to a captive audience, too!
Open to the Public. The North Jersey Aquarium Society (NJAS) will be hosting their annual Fall auction fundraiser on Sunday, April 22, at the Days Hotel in East Brunswick, NJ, right off the NJ Turnpike exit 9. Historically the largest tropical fish auction in the Garden State! Many hundreds of hard-to-find hobbyist-raised, hatchery & imported fish, invertebrates, plants...all sorts of aqua-fabulous goodies at bargain prices!
Ocean to Ocean, Border to Border, it's the Best & Biggest Single-Day Auction Event Extravaganza for Fish Fans!

Remembering our Friend, Frank Zillito
For those that have not heard on our closed Group site (Finaddicts) Frank Zillitto, longtime NJAS member and leader, passed away last week after struggling with pneumonia since early November. Frank was a fixture in the New Jersey metro area club and show scene for many decades. He received NJAS' highest honor - Lifetime Member -and the highest level in our Growers Award Program is named in his honor.
Frank was well known and regarded for his expertise with aquatic plants, ponds, and IFGA guppies. He served on the Boards and as President of various NJ aquarium societies over the years. Never an unkind word for anyone, Frank was loved and respected for his kind, generous, and gracious nature. For all these things he will be remembered fondly. Frank Zillitto's official obituary, highlighting a life of diverse accomplishments and service, can be found here with an option to post condolences and tributes: LINK
