just back from cichlid classic auction

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I looked for sajica for a few years (locally only) and never saw them. The last 2 years I had no room for them and they were at every gcca swap I attended.
 
Funny istlanta was on my list, but they must have been gone by the time I got there, I would have bid much higher for a bag of those.
sajica starting to settle in

 
If I was keeping a fish to pay for my hobby my choice isn't the way, then again my fish at auctions they are practically free witch is nice, this weekend I got a bunch of f1 "convicts" from a fellow hobbyist (Darrell out of Michigan)for free I tried to return by giving him some fish I was putting in the auction, but he didn't even want them hahaha, either way we talked during the convention about our similar fish we keep, nice to know there are people out there that keep not your ordinary lfs stuff....

yeah Duane there were a bunch of istlantum I left around 1:30, those Sajicas every bag there was of them they all looked good...
 
There are a handful of us!

Sam, I must have got there just after you left, I worked until noon, and it took me just under 2 hours to get there, I was amazed by the light turn out, and how early it ended. When I got there, there was only one table of bags left.
Did you catch and bring back any uropthalmus from Florida?
 
Yes Duane I caught a ton of Uros unfortunately not one under 5 inches I would've brought you back some if I caught any babies, I brought back sailfin mollys and t. Mariae, I might be going to mx in August so you still might get some Uros....I will post pics of the trip soon
 
I hate all of you that have fish clubs & swapping where you live.
that includes the SoCal guys too, so you're not alone back east. lucky dogs.
;-)
 
I know what you mean, survivability of anything but small ones is really not worth the risk of a bucket of dead ones.

Yes keeping fish alive takes some work, when I went to florida I collected the last 2 days which made it easier, yes Matt we are probably going to the ACA it's such a short drive, u?
