Carolina Aquatic Expo (CAE) was founded with the goal of showcasing the aquarium hobby to the public. One of the most amazing things about the aquarium hobby is the endless possibilities for every aquarium. There are so many interesting species and pieces of decor that can be used to fill up those glass boxes, and our goal is to bring together as many of those pieces as possible. Carolina Aquatic Expo is designed to showcase livestock that is not normally found in your average pet store. Big box chain stores do not have the facilities to keep a wide variety of livestock, and therefore many people are unaware of the abundance of options that are out there. Our goal is to bring as many of those options to the Expo as we can so that attendees can see, and buy, things that would otherwise be unavailable to them.
Carolina Aquatic Expo goes to great lengths to bring in quality vendors, and we hope that this attention does not go unnoticed. With over 50 vendors and a wealth of experience, CAE is loaded with knowledgeable hobbyists and professionals.
For the last three years, Carolina Aquatic Expo has laid the foundation for the future of the aquarium hobby in the Carolinas. As the largest aquarium show in the Carolinas, CAE will continue to be an ambassador for the hobby and to all hobbyists.
