Killifish in Denver Colorado
Aug 6^th, 2025 at 3:21am

Hey everyone! Very happy to be a part of AKA. I am looking to meet Killifish keepers and breeders in my area. If there are any local monthly meet ups I would love to join. Currently working mostly with SJO but am interested in other Fundulopanchax and Aphyosemion. I work at two aquarium stores and hope to expand in the Killifish community and hobby. Please PM me if you have further information. 😎🙏

Hello Max,

I am glad you joined the AKA and posted on the forum. I commend your efforts to expand the killifish hobby in your local area. I suspect there is a lot of work to do either with helping the club improve its online presence, or restarting the club if it went inactive.

I noticed the affiliate club website for Colorado is not working, but there is a Facebook group for the Colorado Killi Club https://www.facebook.com/groups/581715255208765/

The local fish club in Denver, https://www.coloradoaquarium.org/ is a good place to look. The likely have people keeping killifish.

My other suggestion would be to log into the website so you can view the member roster, and contact AKA members in the Denver area.

I am in Southern California but I would be willing to help however I can.

Thank you for that info Russell! Hopefully we can get things up and running again locally.

Hello Ken! Thank you so much for updating me on this. I am willing to put in the work 😎with both helping online presence and restarting the club locally. I will look at the roster as well as get in touch with these groups. I am originally from San Diego and moved out to Denver in 2020 so I may also be back home occasionally and would love to meet up.

Hey, Max, don't forget about us at AKA. I, for one, am a new member and reaching out to all Killi Keepers to support our interests. Our members may not be local but most can and will assist in anyway possible.

Some of us do not align with Facebook so, if you limit yourself to that, you may not get all the benefits of an AKA membership.

I, for example, am working with a. funge but do not contribute to my local San Francisco group or any others, if they converse only through Facebook. I am, however, willing to share my experience with anyone.

I am not alone in this so, AKA is a viable resource...Jim
