SWAP MEETS
Buy, Sell, and Trade with Local Hobbyists
Our swap meets are community-powered events where members and guests come together to buy, sell, and trade all things aquarium-related. From rare and hard-to-find fish to vibrant aquatic plants, gently used tanks, filters, lights, and décor—you never know what gems you’ll discover. It’s a relaxed, open-table environment where you can browse at your own pace, chat with other fishkeepers, and find great deals from local breeders and hobbyists.
Whether you’re a seasoned aquarist or just getting started, swap meets are a great way to expand your collection, offload extra gear, and meet people who share your passion for aquatics. All experience levels are welcome, and participation is open to the public. Come explore, connect, and maybe leave with a few unexpected new finned friends!
AUCTIONS
Bid on Fish, Plants, and Equipment While Supporting the Club
Our auctions are fun, fast-paced events where you can bid on a wide variety of freshwater fish, aquarium plants, invertebrates, supplies, and equipment—all submitted by local hobbyists, breeders, and vendors. Items are presented one by one, and bidding starts low—so you can score some fantastic deals while adding excitement to your aquarium life.
Auctions are not just a great way to expand your tanks—they’re also one of the club’s main fundraising tools. Every successful bid helps support the South Coast Tropical Fish Society and keeps our events and community thriving. Whether you’re on the hunt for something specific or just love the thrill of bidding, our auctions are always a highlight of the year. Bring your wallet, your fish wish list, and your sense of adventure!
