Peel Regional Aquarium Club PRAC Brampton, Mississauga and GTA

Next Meeting:
Feb 25, 2026, 7:00pm
Speaker: Melanie Massey
Topic : Invasive Goldfish: Built to Thrive?

The Peel Regional Aquarium Club is excited to welcome Dr. Melanie Massey as our guest speaker! Dr. Melanie Massey joins us to explore the surprising rise of invasive goldfish in the Great Lakes. These fish aren't just surviving, but thriving. Dr. Massey's research dives into the unique physiology that allows goldfish to maintain their metabolism and energy even as water temperatures climb. It turns out the original "orange outsider" might be plotting a form of world domination from local poinds. Come see if these "tactical geniusus" are winning bigger than we ever suspected!

Bring your curiosity and discover a new way to make your aquarium come alive! Membership Renewals Due; First time visitors free; mini auction; pizza & pop.

We look forward to seeing her presentation and you there! Pizza and mini auction to follow. This will be a hybrid meeting. PRAC offers in-person & Zoom memberships.

Welcome to The Peel Regional Aquarium Club or PRAC

This is P R A C , The Peel Regional Aquarium Club , a progressive, non-profit organization open to aquarium hobbyists, active since 1971. Our purpose is to engage our Club Members and to inspire our community in this rewarding Aquarium Hobby. Are you into Freshwater or Saltwater? Perhaps you're into Fish, Shrimp or even Snails? What about Lo or Hi-Tech Planted Tanks? Could you be into Biotope Aquarium Setups?
Our clubs collective experience is our main asset.

A Little Club History

A Fish Club was born in 1971 as The Brampton Aquarium Club. Over the years we've attracted many Aquarium enthusiasts from other municipalities such as Caledon & Mississauga and elsewhere. In early 2008, we changed our name to Peel Regional Aquarium Club to better reflect the community around us.

Fish, Aquariums and Our Community

Giving back to your community is a PRAC priority. We have set up many aquariums in schools & hospitals. Building enthusiasm about the hobby in young people is important to us. As well, we have participated in Pet Shows, promoting fish keeping in the greater community.
