The Long Island Aquarium Society, Inc. (LIAS) is the oldest organization devoted to Tropical Fish in the Long Island area.
It is a non profit organization dedicated to the study of aquatic life; to promote interest, exchange ideas and encourage the breeding and showing of aquatic fish.
The membership is made up of men, women and children of all levels of experience,
including nationally renowned individuals who are eager to share their experiences and expertise in all phases of aquarium management and fish breeding.
LIAS meets at 8PM on the 3rd Friday of each month (except July and August) at the Town of Brookhaven Holtsville Park and Zoo 249 Buckley Road, Holtsville, NY 11742.
The meetings feature programs, covering all phases of tropical fish keeping, by noted guest speakers.
A bowl show is featured every month, with ribbons awarded for first , second, and third place, culminating in the annual Bowl Show Champion Award.
A Social atmosphere is enjoyed by all during refreshments.
It is at this time that members "talk fish", exchange ideas and secrets,
trade fish and establish friendships. The meetings resume with free door prizes and a raffle. Auctions are held monthly and all have the opportunity to bid for rare and homebred fish or equipment at bargain prices.
Visitors are always welcome and , of course, may participate in the raffle and auction. The nominal membership dues allow voting privileges, a subscription to the award winning
Paradise Press and a membership card, which entitles the member to generous discounts at local pet shops. For Directions and Info goto
