About Us

The Potomac Valley Aquarium Society is a not-profit educational and social organization. The society was founded in 1960 for the purpose of furthering the aquarium hobby by the dissemination of information and advice, and the promotion of good fellowship among the members by organized activities and competitions.

Meetings

Our next meeting will be Monday, May 12th, 7:45pm.

Spencer Jack, "Collecting expedition to Uruguay"

In collaboration with the Capital Cichlid Association the Potomac Valley Aquarium Society welcomes Spencer Jack from Canada to Washington D.C. On Saturday, May 10, Spence's CCA presentation is entitled "Confessions of a Cichlaholic" a lighthearted look into the realm of cichlid hobbyists and what makes them fanatical aquarium hobbyists. On Monday, May 12, Spence's presentation will take PVAS on a collecting expedition to Uruguay where, in addition to a passing mention of collecting cichlids, he will introduce us to livebearers, "very cool" tetras, plecos, etc.

PVAS members are welcome to attend the CCA meeting and CCA members are invited to attend the PVAS meeting.

We will have our monthly business meeting starting at 7:45 p.m. Spence will start at 8:00 p.m. with our monthly doorprize, auction and raffle ending the meeting. Spence is bringing some very exciting fish for the auction.
