Welcome to the AGA Goldfish Pages. We've
combined the resources of the American Goldfish Association (AGA) with
goldfishpages to provide you with an improved website and new goldfish
organization. We hope this combination will not only provide you with the a series of resources
for goldfish hobbyists, but also with a new organization to support the
goldfish hobby. These resources include goldfish standards,
goldfish variety descriptions, goldfish-related articles, show dates and reviews,
information regarding people who are involved in the goldfish hobby, as well as
links to various goldfish-related sites. To find out more about the AGA,

Introducing the AGA. It has been over 100 years since the first national goldfish exhibit occurred at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago. In order to celebrate this occasion, the AGA has developed a short presentation commemorating over 100 years of goldfish exhibits in the U.S. To honor the "World's Fair Fish," a Veiltail, and to celebrate 100 years of exhibitions, the AGA has commissioned a series of medallions to be awarded at each show sanctioned by the AGA this year.
