Convention

Every July the ACA hosts a most fabulous convention not to be missed!

It is here that you will witness the most spectacular collection of remarkable cichlids under one roof, as well as have the opportunity to purchase numerous rare and unique species, many home-bred by fellow participants.

The yearly ACA convention is an action-packed, non-stop weekend filled with world-renowned speakers, workshops, vendors, raffles, specialized Study Group meetings and incredible side trips, all culminating in Sunday’s magnificent cichlid auction. Most importantly, you will be sure to find the warmth and fellowship of being amongst fish, friends, and fun! Be sure to clear some tank space and make your reservations today!
