Do aquarium societies and clubs exist to any great degree anymore ? Maybe in the larger mega city areas. I know that the American Killifish Association has a large annual convention and some of their affiliates do annual shows like the Wisconsin Area Killifish Organization with its Egg Laying Toothcarp Jamboree. The national cichlid and Livebearer groups do likewise as well. Aquarium clubs serve a good purpose but find that getting people to help out is difficult. As in most things in life people prefer to sit on their hands and wait for somebody else to do it.
