Starting this thread for the three of us Indy Guys to post up a few pics of our buys from the Cincy Auction today. I know I bought quite a few fish and got great prices on them.
If you made it to the auction and picked up some fish, feel free to post here as well.
I will post up some pics as soon as the wife gets home with the camera.

Well, had a great time even my, girlfriend was getting in on the fun! I actually spent half of my money bristlenose plecos and plants but I was able to make up for some of them damage by selling some of my fish too.
Score #1.....
2 lamprologus tretocephalus
(pay no attention to the dates on the picture)

A massive 6"ish tramitichromis intermedius, looks like a female so she will be a nice addition to my breeding group even though she dwarfs the male right now. I stole her for $3!

yeah, its worth checking out, you never know what you'll find.
No, but there were some Emperor Cichlids.
They were going super cheap too. I think one bag went for like $6 for (3) 3"+, I almost thought about getting them but there is no plans for a 400g+ tank in my near future.

I didn't get many fish at the actual auction but Chip (Bluechip Aquatics) met me there with some fish I had ordered.
Cyp. leptosoma neonhead Chituta
and some small Xenotilapia ochrogenys "Ndole"
The Cyps have settled right in and the ochrogenys seem to be adjusting. Both are in my new 90-gallon I set up a few weeks ago.

The ACA is coming. You might try to make the trip down for that one. It will probably be fairly large.
