Peter, I for one have always thought of ANGFA as more than an aquarium
society... f'rinstance, look at the people who speak at conventions,
hardly typical aquarists ;)

I feel that the conservation ethic in ANGFA is more slanted towards
the preservation in tanks rather than conservation of wild habitat,
but that it was definately there...

Regards, Andrew

Andrew raises a good point here. What do other members think? Should
ANGFA be just an aquarium society? At present it by and large is just an
aquarium society although it's journal is far above most clubs
standards.

Should ANGFA be just an aquarium society and leave conservation alone?

Should ANGFA be an aquarium society and get involved in conservation
issues?
