I don't use face book, but I am an Indiana aquarium owner. I live about halfway from Greenwood to Bloomington.
Well I am currently thinking about setting up a website because of that reason alone. Not everyone has facebook and some people dislike to use it. I am currently in Speedway but will be moving to Greenwood in 2 months. I have heard of local MonsterFishKeeper meets but have never attended one because Im new to fish forums(just joined this a few months ago). Any ideas on how to get a lot of aquarium owners from Indiana together?

I know Indianapolis has a fish club, the Circle City Aquarium Club. The problem with finding real fish hobbyists from Indiana is that there aren't very many of us.
I spoke with a woman a few weeks ago who came and bought an african butterfly fish off of me and she said she was a member of the Circle City Aquarium Club. She told me that you have to pay 20 bucks to join so I decided not to since there are so many clubs and forums you can join for free.

I thought there was one around you Zig. Like NW fishkeepers or something. Maybe I am wrong. You could always try and join up with the Chicagoers. LOL
Well I'm unemployed right now and searching for jobs each day. I sold the fish because I didn't want to risk my arowana eating it and I just posted an add on craigslist for anyone to come get it with a $5 rehoming fee. I would love to work at a pet store though (already applied at Petco & Uncle Bills...no luck). I really wanna join the Circle City fish club because this lady told me they have big swap meets at a hotel here off of crawfordsville road near I-465 and all fish, tanks, equipment, etc are really cheap:)
