CCA Presents AquaMania 2 – The Big Fish Deal

Welcome to AquaMania 2: The Big Fish Deal!, an event to bring together aquarium enthusiasts and transform the Gaithersburg Hilton into an aquatic paradise on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, February 28 - March 2, 2014.

Whether you’re just getting into aquariums or are an advanced hobbyist, AquaMania will have something for you. Check out the packed Agenda and Register today!

For registered attendees, we will have world-renowned speakers (Anton Lamboj, Rusty Wessel, Pam Chin and Shane Linder), an exclusive Saturday night rare fish auction, an awards reception, Friday and Saturday night hospitality, and early entrance to the Sunday Marketplace (swap meet) …all included and free with registration!

The lobby of the Hilton will have lots of things to do and see for Guests and Visitors. Want to learn the basics of keeping aquariums? Come talk to experts and see short classes from CCA and other local aquarium clubs. Have kids? Come enter to win a free aquarium set-up and participate in other Kids’ Activities!

Want to see beautifully decorated aquaria of all shapes and sizes? Check out or enter the Aquarium Beautiful Competition. Voting for your favorites will enter you into raffles for free aquariums, supplies and other prizes…including the Give a Kid a Tank Competition.

Looking for amazing deals on aquariums, fish and supplies? Attend the Marketplace on Sunday, March 2, where vendors and hobbyists can buy and sell fish, supplies and other fishy goods. Due to the large number of buyers and sellers that we’re expecting, we’re moving to the Hilton’s Grand Ballroom for this year’s Marketplace!

AquaMania 2 is going to be a Big Fish Deal – hope to see you there!

Big thanks to Shane and his family for attending AquaMania 2 (The Big Fish Deal) this weekend!

Shane's presentation on Loricariids was (of course) excellent: several people remarked on how it made a potentially scientific, complex topic accessible and understandable. Great pictures as well...

Great amazing presentations from Anton Lamboj (CARES, West African Biotypes, Sneak peek of collecting in Colombia), Pam Chin (Lake Tang, Lake Malawi) and Rusty Wessel (Central American cichlids and livebearers)... a great Saturday Night Rare Fish Auction (I donated a wild breeding group of 5 Corydoras sp. from Bella Union, Uruguay that went for less than common Cories at an LFS)...and some excellent cat and cichlid vendors in the Sunday Marketplace...

We donated over $600 to the BABES for cichlid research and conservation and had a wonderful time!
