I first got into fish when my wife was pregnant with
our first child. I was looking for some sort of hobby
that I would do inside the house. Up until then, all of
my hobbies involved lots of activities that took me
outside. With the baby on the way, I wanted to be Your GHAC Officers are:

A key factor in selecting this location was that it is on the north side of Houston, since other similar
auctions have always been on the south side. There are many hobbyists on the north side that would
welcome this location, and for those on the south side—well, it is still relatively close.
Another highlight of this auction is that it is more seller friendly than other auctions. GHAC is only
subtracting 10% of the sale, so you keep 90%. Our philosophy is that since you’ve done all the work, you
should keep most of the sale. This is just another for GHAC to say thank you. We are a club for the
members!
Is this auction just for members? Not at all, anyone is welcome to sell, buy or just come hang out.
Does it cost to me anything to be able to bid on an item? Not if you are a GHAC member. Non-
members can purchase a bidder card for just $5. Now check this out…become a member at the auction or
before for $5 and register for your bidder card for free. Sounds easy? Well, it is!
What will be at the Auction? Anything and everything that is apart of the hobby: livestock of every
kind, plants, tanks, filters, heaters, food, drift wood, holey rock…etc.
GHAC is a social club. We encourage the hobby of keeping aquatic life and just having fun. We
encourage learning more about the hobby, and welcome members of all fish clubs. We certainly hope to
see you there. Please tell a friend. More information can be found on the GHAC website.
