Next Meeting:
Oct 15, 2025, 7:00pm
Speaker: Cathy Cope
Topic : Plants for Beginners

Peel Regional Aquarium Club

Cathy claims that she is by no means an expert or even an intermediate fish keeper, but she did enjoy her goldfish tanks as a tween into her early adult years. Her tanks back then ranged from 10 to 30 gallons and she admits that compared to today’s standards, she did everything wrong but somehow, her fish thrived and even endured a move from Montreal to Cobourg!

In September 2024, Cathy started fish keeping again. This journey once again began with a 10-gallon goldfish tank …. which ended badly, so that became a betta tank! Fast forward a year and Cathy has 11 tanks ranging in size from 5 gallons to 65 gallons. Cathy keeps many bettas, community and nano fish, snails and shrimp. But her true passion is plants and creating beautiful and natural aquascapes for her fish friends. Cathy hopes to help new fish keepers like she was take the fear out of trying real plants and CO2!

Welcome to The Peel Regional Aquarium Club or PRAC

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.
