We are dedicated to the education and husbandry of aquatic and terrarium life in a captive environment.

Desert Aquarist Society is a non-profit organization seeking to provide fun and information to our members and to the community about maintaining freshwater/marine fish in an aquarium environment also geckos and amphibians in a terrarium environment. Together we can share our collective knowledge and experience for improved care and propagation of fish and terrarium life. In particular, the DAS is dedicated to reducing the negative impact of the hobby on the coral reef, endangered species, and the rain forest. We are committed to educating the public on proper care and maintenance of these miniature ecosystems and to promote the interest and enjoyment of the hobby. Our society provides resources to the aquarium and terrarium enthusiast in Southern Arizona and surrounding areas by sponsoring meetings, lectures, online discussions, websites and other means, to connect local hobbyists. DAS will support educational and conservation organizations intended for the improvement of aquatic and terrarium environments.
