North Jersey · Aquarium hobbyists · Est. 1953

Find your people.
Find your fish.

NJAS is a community for people who are into aquariums — from a first 10-gallon tank to serious breeding, aquascaping, wild fish, plants, and conservation.

More than meetings.

Ask a question, show off a spawn, find a fish, trade a plant, or meet someone who understands why your "one more tank" became six.

A club that gives something back to the hobby

Whether you're here for fish, plants, people, or all three, there should be a reason to come back.

01

Meet other fish nerds

Find local hobbyists who keep the species you love — and the people who are just as obsessed with them.

02

Get better at the hobby

Learn from breeders, aquascapers and longtime keepers instead of trying to figure everything out alone.

03

Find unusual fish & plants

Club auctions, swaps and member connections can put you in touch with things you won't find at the average pet store.
