ACA 2009 (Warning crazy load warning)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I was there and I honestly thought there was more SA/CA to see than the Africans. I'm beginning to make my way over to Africans, but as a NW guy, I was pleased. I didn't get the impression of a bias at all.

This was extremely well run - from the show room to the auction at the end.

Hats off to the Cinci club for such a great job!

Yah, Wisc is far for me too. But I will likely toss in a visit home. (I grew up in MN.)

As for SA/CA. There were likely more. IE there was about 2 rows of SA/CA. (Discus, angels, pikes, ect) and 1 row of rift lake fish and ~.5 of Magascar and other river Africans.

It is just that most of the donated fish were African, but if you think about it that makes sense given they are grown in Florida fish farms. (And they breed what grows in their water, not to mention what sells.)

I agree. There seemed to be a lot of SA/CAs in the showroom, and maybe it was that I was only looking to buy SA fish, but it seemed like most of the rental room fish were new world as well.

The biggest problem was how hard the water was. (In Atlanta we have ~6.5 ph no KH/GH, which is what the amarillo was used too... and then he got tossed in their.) Hopefully he made it back to Ken's fine.
He died on the way home, really sux

gotta love the RTMS ;)

that male balzani is probably the most stunning specimen of that species i have ever seen. that's a quality fish
Yep, I thought he was best of show quality and he didn't even place in the class!

That is the reason I did not take the Chancho. I would have loved to show him off but could not deal with him not making it.
 
Sorry that guy didn't make it Ken! There were some real beauties in the SA/CA section!
 
I wish I would of found out about this before today! i would of really liked to have gone to this and it is not even that far away from me. How often do they do these types of things in Ohio, once a year?
