The Mission of the DFW Aquatic Plant Club

The DFW Aquatic Plant Club is an organization comprised of individuals with an interest in the propagation of aquatic plants. Experience levels within our club range from the novice to the advanced hobbyist. Our membership is not confined to the geographical area of Dallas-Fort Worth. We have active participating members from all across Texas and the United States. We are hobbyists who are interested in naturally planted aquariums for the benefit of the fauna, flora, and keeper of such aquariums.

Our Mission is to educate hobbyists and to promote planted aquariums through presentations, speaking engagements, and monthly meetings where topics related to planted aquaria are discussed.

It has always been thought that maintaining a naturally planted aquarium is difficult. However, through the exchange of ideas and information, we believe that maintaining a planted aquarium is both relatively easy and rewarding. In addition, we hope that the hobbyist gains a greater knowledge and appreciation of the hobby in general. At the monthly meetings, we will discuss such topics such as lighting, CO₂ and chemical fertilization, substrates, plant species, and other topics about maintaining a planted tank. We also bring prominent speakers to Dallas-Fort Worth to present special topics on planted tanks. So, come and join us for one of our monthly meetings!
