At the Aquarium Club of Maryland (ACM), we are a passionate community of hobbyists, conservationists, and educators committed to preserving endangered fish species. As a proud member of the CARES (Conservation, Awareness, Recognition, Responsibility, Encouragement, and Education, and Support and Sharing) Preservation Program, we work collaboratively with scientists and conservation organizations worldwide to protect aquatic life. Through breeding, education, and active participation in the global network, we ensure the conservation of species that are at risk of extinction. Our mission is not only to preserve these species but also to foster a community of responsible aquarists dedicated to making a positive impact on the world of aquatic conservation.
