Talks! Two Vendor Rooms! Aquascaping Demo!
The Aquatic Gardeners Association, Inc. is an international nonprofit
organization of aquatic plant enthusiasts, which appeals to both beginners and
experienced hobbyists alike. The AGA publishes a (paper) quarterly journal called
The Aquatic Gardener (or TAG
), the only English language
journal devoted to aquarium plants and planted aquaria. AGA
members receive a FREE subscription to TAG and all
special publications. Members also can purchase back issues,
DVDs, and t-shirts. We also hold a bi-annual convention and an online aquascaping contest.
Not an April Fool's joke! Our 2019 Convention is, for the first time in AGA history, sold out of registrations, and over a month before the convention is happening. UPDATE - Wait list is also now closed, sorry.
The AGA awarded free memberships to two winners of the Aquarium Beautiful competition at the Big Fish Deal February 15-17, 2019. The Big Fish Deal is an annual event hosted by the Capital Cichlid Association in Maryland. Nick Kinser won the "Aquascape Under 10 Gallons" category (top photo) and Becca Goldring won the "Aquascape Over 10 Gallons" category (bottom photo).
The Aquarium Beautiful competition turns the floor of the hotel into a freshwater aquatic paradise. The contest features aquariums of all shapes and sizes on display for the public during the event. Be sure to check it out next year!
