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. Click on the following link to see the presentation: Articles/AGA 100 year presentation.pdf To see pictures of the AGA Award winners and "Fish of the Year" please click on this link: AGA Award Winners and Fish of the Year Each year, club members vote for the Grand Champion fish of the year. These fish are selected from among the Grand Champion winners of the prior year. The winners for 2009 are as follows: 1st place a black Oranda owned by Lauren Griffith of the Northwest Koi & Goldfish Club; 2nd place fish owned by Bay Bateman of the Midwest Pond & Koi Society; 3rd place fish owned by Art Lembke of the Mid-Atlantic Koi Club.
