April 13th - GCCA swap meet, Hilton Northbrook 2855 N. Milwaukee Ave. Northbrook, IL.

The Chicago Aquatic Plant Society will be at the upcoming Greater Chicago Cichlid Association (GCCA) Tropical Fish Swap Meet on Sunday, April 13th, and we’d love to see you there! Last swap till September!!

We’ll be raising funds to support CAPS by offering a wide selection of hobbyist-grown aquatic plants—from beginner-friendly varieties to rare species—along with tissue culture plants and an assortment of hardscape materials like wood and stone perfect for your next aquascape.

Help Us Grow!
Swap meets are CAPS’ primary fundraising events, and we rely on YOU—our amazing members—to keep things thriving. If you have aquatic plants to donate, please message Scott Miller on Facebook or via email for drop-off details.

Thank you for supporting CAPS—we can’t wait to see you at the swap!
