ACA 2009 (Warning crazy load warning)

[andyjs]

Nice pics! I just got home not long ago and got my new fish (some F1 Gymnogeo. labiatus "Rio Olimar" and F0 Geo. abalios) set up in a tank. This was my first ACA, and I had a great time. It definitely wont be my last

Sorry things are taking so long. I have likely ~300 more photos, but well I had to pack and unpack. So far I have lost 1 fish on the way back down to Atlanta. (He didn't have a good start to begin with.) And I have one more small Discus that is on life support. I will post fish I got. (I ended up only buying 1 fish at the main auction... of course I bought ~24 fish before hand, including a wild pair of argentea and a wild pair of pears. (Not to mention a lot of young discus.)

And I will post the last set of pictures once we get to the next page.

Awsome Amphilophus. Finally, some of the heavy weights. Either some were stressed or needed more room to streach. Too bad they don't allow some type of 45g or standard 55g's for some of the larger fish. Also should correct the Festae label. Should say cichlisoma as they been removed from the amphilophus family

Yeah, I felt really bad for the big F0 A. amarillo. I think he looked even sadder in person. He was like 13-14" in a 20" tank.

More great pics. Those Thorichthys really almost made me set up another tank this weekend, but I somehow restrained after seeing those gorgeous ellioti (which I thought was changed to maculipinnis, not really sure which is correct now) in the showroom, then seeing little ones 3/$5-not to mention the meeki and others
