I think I bought 75% of the ca/sa's they had there aside from the discus and angels. Heres what I got fish wise..

4x nicaraguense 3-4" $9

2x [FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]archocentrus[/SIZE][/FONT] myrnae 3" $2

[FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]7x archocentrus centrarchus[/SIZE][/FONT] 1" $1 :WHOA: (I didn't know what they were but recognized the archocentrus group as a American and bought them. After googling them I couldn't be happier with my purchase)

6x f1 barred midas fry 1" $5

4x kribensis 2.5" $5 (probably the nicest ones I've ever seen)

1x procambarus marmorkrebs (marble crayfish) 2.5" $6 (supposedly self colonizing)

Funny thing about the nics is that I was going to buy them off of the guy earlier this month but he wanted $25 each since they were wild Jeff Rapps stock. He listed them all seperately at the auction and I won all but one that got bid up to $8 so I stopped bidding lol. I got the rest for a whole $1, $1, $3, and $4.

Get this.. I sold breeding pair of convicts for $11 :WHOA: lol. I'll get some pictures of everything later. Anybody ever keep the marble crayfish or the centrarchus? I'm so excited to grow out the centrarchus after seeing pictures of them, they look like an amazing fish. The gcaa site says "Expect to pay $6-10 for juvenile fish" hows about 7 for $1?
 
Cool. The flyers are some great cichlids for sure! Love their breeding dress. :) Props for the score. :)

I need to post updates of the cichlids I scored at the last auction. . . .
 
I probably won't have any great pictures for a few days but I will try to get some with my moms camera in a few. Camphilophus quality photos when I get (my) girlfriends camera back from her sister lol.

One of the nics I picked up has colored up nicely already, and as soon as the kribensis hit my high pH water their colors got way better. I have the 3-4" nics in a 55gallon with 5 grammodes that are about 2-3" for now. I was thinking this would be a mess but they're actually getting along great so far. Now I just have to hold out for 4-6 weeks and go to the cichlid auction. This last one was half plants and guppies :(

Forgot to mention I got 2 ??? geophagus @ 2" for $1. I think they are brasilinses but not sure. I'll try to get some pics of them.
