The Heart of America Aquarium Society of Kansas City brings together aquarists of all experience levels, from someone setting up their first tank to breeders, aquascapers, planted-tank enthusiasts, and lifelong fishkeepers.
Guest speakers, demonstrations, club business, fishkeeping discussions, auctions, and plenty of time to talk shop with other hobbyists.
Local events where fish, plants, shrimp, aquarium equipment and other hobby goods change hands.
The Breeders Award Program and Horticulturalist Award Program give members a reason to keep records, try new species, and grow their skills.
A friendly way to put fish, plants, and aquascaping projects in front of fellow hobbyists and see what everyone else has been growing.
Fish, plants, shrimp, equipment, supplies and other aquarium treasures from hobbyists around the Kansas City area.
HAAS hosts regular meetings and special events throughout the Kansas City area. Meetings are open to people at every level of the hobby, and you don't need to be an expert to participate.

Find an event, come to a meeting, bring a friend, or just come talk fish with people who understand why you needed another aquarium.
You asked for a sequel. We’re giving you one. The HAAS Aqua Auction returns this October with another day of fish, plants, shrimp, aquarium equipment and plenty more hitting the auction block.
Whether you’re looking for something new for the fish room, clearing out some space, or just coming to see what everyone else has been growing and breeding, there’s always something worth sticking around for.
And if your fish room is getting a little crowded, now is your chance to do something about it. Maybe you’ve got a few more offspring than expected, a pile of overgrown plants, or a garage full of gently loved aquarium equipment that really needs to find a new home.
Seller registration is now open to everyone. HAAS+ members had early access, but you do not need to be a member to sell. Bring your fish, plants, shrimp, equipment, supplies, or whatever else another hobbyist might be looking for.
Expect a wide mix of livestock, plants, equipment and aquarium supplies from hobbyists throughout the area. You never really know what’s going to show up until auction day.
We’ll also have raffle prizes up for grabs throughout the event. We’ll be sharing prize announcements and more details as we get closer to auction day.
HAAS+ members had early access to seller registration. Now registration is open to everyone, so you can join us whether you’re a HAAS+ member or not.
Got a few more offspring than you planned on? Plants taking over? Garage full of gently loved aquarium equipment? Bring it to the auction.
