YAY!! This weekend is the ACA!! Hopefully I'm gonna be able to make it to it, and still have enough money to spend...hehe. I'm only gonna be there for Sunday though, auction is the only really important thing to me. . I'm gonna try and make myself as obvious and easy to find me. I'm gonna wear my yellow "Nebraska, More Corn than Kansas" shirt, some red and yellow plaid shorts, flipflops, and possibly a blue baseball hat....i think that should make me stand out. I'm pretty tall as well...so should be pretty easy to see me. Or just look near any of the pike cichlids/pbass....:D! Yup yup! Anyway, hope to see some of yaz!! Any ideas on who thinks they will be going? We should get group together and go do lunch or make bids together or sumptin. Anyway....holla at me! Cheers! Smile! Peace,
Jer
 
I'm a big fan of helicopters and your avatar is one of my fav. repair!! LOL! You gonna be wearing that on Sunday? lol..cuz thats the only day i'm gonna be there.

Spry...you should go for sunday instead!! I mean, why miss the auction...best part is seeing all the fishies! :D
 
I don't know about the rest of you, but I thought ACA 2005 was great! My daughter and I had a great time.

Repair, I forgive you for assuming I was a sixty-something grandfather. At least you had the guts to come up and ask me if I knew "spryandspringy", the older man you were looking for. :grinno:

My daughter got some great catfish for her tank, and I traded numbers with a few folks for some future livestock. I wish I could have stayed for the auction, but it just wasn't in the cards.

I did rekindle a bygone romance with Frontosa while I was there. I spent yesterday and today setting up a 55g and am going to do single-species Frontie tank. :22_yikes:

Did anyone else get any exciting new fishies?
 
All I have to say is that it just intesified my distaste and hatred for African cichlids even more!! AGHHHH! 95% of that flippin auction was African cichlids! Where the hell were the SA and CA cichlids? Pissed me off like no other! Why don't they just call it the African Cichlid Association...bastards!! Oh well...at least i got to see some show fish before they took them down! Yay! Full grown marmorata and lenticulata...pictures later! :D

Sorry it wasn't to your fancy, Peanut. I have to admit that I really prefer the Africans (I have more than double the gallons of tank space dediccated to Africans vs. Central/South American) so I was in heaven.

I heard that I missed out on some high quality Zaire Blue Frontosa, though. Only $15/ea.???? I'm very happy with the Fronties I got yesterday, though. :)
 
THIS years ACA will be different, yeah, thats right. I'm gonna bring my babies...ah hahaha!! No stoppin me now!! And its in Chicago, so there better be more SA peeps there!
