AGA Goldfish Pages

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 see pictures of all the AGA Award winners for 2009, please click on this link:  AGA Award Winners - 2009.  Each year, we ask the judges to vote on the "top"  AGA Award fish of the year.  Judges vote on the best fish from the winners of the AGA Award at each show that is sanctioned by the AGA.  The competition is fierce each year, but was especially so this year.  In fact, we had a tie on the first ballot between two fish, and we had to vote a second time to determine the AGA Award fish of the year.  The second vote produced--another tie.  So, for the current year, we have a tie between a fish owned by Gaye Jones and Tun Tun Win for the coveted AGA Award fish of the year.  Congratulations to Gaye and Tun Tun for their outstanding fish.  By the way, both Gaye and Tun Tun will have fish in the running for the AGA Fish of the Year, which is voted on by AGA members.
