2026-04-11 COAST Aquaswap in Fountain Valley

Next Saturday, April 11th, SCKC will be running table #27 at the Coast Aqua Swap in Fountain Valley.

This is an incredible recruitment opportunity for our club. Last year, the turnout was a few hundred people throughout the day, far more than regularly attend COAST or any of our normal fish club meetings. It’s a great chance to sell fish and introduce new people to the club!

To make this a success, we are looking for volunteers to help run the table and members who want to sell fish.

Selling Fish & Drop-Off Option

If you have extra fish, this is a great venue to move them. Sellers keep 100% of the proceeds from anything they sell at the SCKC table.

• Pricing: We recommend selling killifish and wild-type fish at $20 per pair.  This is the easiest price for quick sales without making change.  If you prefer to sell fish at other prices, it would be best to sell them in multiples of $5.
• Drop-Offs Welcome: If you can’t stay to volunteer, you can drop off your fish and we will sell them on your behalf! Just clearly label each bag with your name and your desired sales price ($20 will be the default if not marked). We will tally up the totals by seller and send you the proceeds at the after the event.
• Unsold Fish: If you have fish left over at the end of the day and do not claim them, they can be optionally entered into the COAST live auction (the auction split is 75/25 for COAST members and 50/50 for non-members). Alternatively, unclaimed fish can be donated to future SCKC events, the upcoming SAKE event, or other AKA events.
  

Volunteering & Admission Details

General admission to the event is $15. Our table registration includes two free admissions, and the club should be able to reimburse the $15 admission fee for those who volunteer their time to help at the SCKC table.

Table Space & Scheduling: The table we have booked is 6 feet long, which means we only have space for 2-3 volunteers behind it at any given time.

As a bonus, all volunteers and vendors are invited to a Pizza Party Dinner hosted by Palmstreet App from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM!
