Get to know them.

San Diego Tropical Fish Society is a local meeting place for aquarium enthusiasts, including people who have never kept fish before. Meetings bring together guest speakers, hobby discussions, bowl-show competitions and auctions of fish, plants and equipment. The community extends to interests such as shrimp, snails and planted tanks.

You can visit as a guest to ask questions before buying your first setup, or bring tank photos if you would like to discuss an existing aquarium. Auctions and shows offer a different kind of gathering from a lecture, so check the calendar for the format you want. The society explicitly welcomes guests with no aquarium experience.
