What’s the OCA?

The OCA brings together cichlid enthusiasts to increase the enjoyment of the cichlid hobby. We meet on the first Friday of every month except July. The OCA year is centered around three major events: the OCA Winter Auction in February, the OCA Fishy Swap Meet in Fall, and the world renowned OCA Extravaganza on the weekend before Thanksgiving.

People are usually amazed when they hear that all OCA activities, especially a world class event like the OCA Extravaganza, are organized year after year by a bunch of amateurs, relying almost entirely on the work of volunteers. OCA members, and particularly the Board, certainly go the extra mile to make this happen, but events like the Extravaganza could not have become the success that it is without solid backing from the wide range of businesses listed on this page!
