but we live on the internet
Really, there are not that many involved in the aquatic plant part of the hobby. Communicating on the internet has helped us all to do better as we can learn from others around the world.

One could also point to the Mid-Atlantic area with its plethora of large and small lfs's and various organizations. In a 2 year period there was or is the National Conventions for; AGA, MACNA, Killies group and Catfish Group. Locally one can find; Greater Washington Aquatic Plant Assoc., Potomac Valley Aquarium Society, Capital Area Cichlids, Chesapeake Killifish Club, Chesapeake Marine Aquarium Society and Washington Area Marine Aquarium Society. Obviously to support that many organizations and shops there would have to be a sizable population of "Fish Geeks"
