-
What is the AGA? - It's the
American Goldfish Association.
-
What's it for?
- It's a group of goldfish people who have gotten together to
promote the breeding, raising and showing of goldfish in the
U.S. and Canada.
-
How does it work?
- We sponsor goldfish shows across the country, supply the judges,
and publish an email newsletter.
-
Do you plan to do away with
my local koi or goldfish club?
- No, we plan to work with the local clubs to help stimulate
interest in the goldfish hobby.
-
How are you going to generate
more interest in goldfish?
- By encouraging existing koi clubs to add goldfish competitions
to their shows to increase turn-out; by providing a frequently
updated website offering goldfish tips and show information;
by providing seminars at local koi and goldfish shows; and by
providing the best, most qualified judges at goldfish shows.
-
Do we need another goldfish
organization?
- That's a good question. While there are several goldfish organizations
already in existence, they don't provide the broad array of
services that the AGA is seeking to provide.
-
This all sounds great, but
when does the AGA start?
- Well, right now. We've been organizing the association, developing
our website, and getting our judges lined-up. We'll be sending
out information to various goldfish and koi-related websites
over the next few weeks with membership information. We hope
that you will join the AGA.
