Title says it all, anyone know of any catfish specific clubs? All I can find are general aquaria and cichlid specific.

PVAS hosts the All-Aquarium Catfish Convention every other year, so you probably shouldn't have to look much further then that!

The Capital Cichlid Association (http://www.capitalcichlids.org), which meets monthly in Wheaton, is obviously focused on cichlids, but has quite a few members who keep catfish. Last Saturday, several of the members gave presentations on recent breeding successes, and I talked about spawning the yellow cat, Corydoras sp. (c123).

There are typically quite a few catfish in the auctions, too.

I don't think there are any catfish specific clubs in the U.S.

PVAS is probably your best bet as they host the only catfish convention in the U.S.

Thanks, I'm a member of PVAS and am considering joining the CCA. I was at CCA's meeting this last weekend, but only caught the end of it.
