New World Cichlids at CCA Presents AquaMania (Mar 9-10, Hilton Gaithersburg, MD)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Matt, can you inbox me some of the potential "more aggressive" larger cichlids, I may be able to pick up outside of the auction? (If you can)

I didn't register so I know ima miss out there.

Some species I would be interested in are festae,barred Midas, RTM, lyonsi, just to name a few. I'd be interested in other options as well.

Thanks.

No - you either need to register for the convention...or register for the Marketplace...

Great seeing everyone at AquaMania!

I think we topped 250 folks between registered attendees and folks who just attended the Marketplace...

Highlight of the event was giving 15 aquarium set-ups to kids and their families!

what did everyone get?.. Or should we start another thread for that? :p what I want to know is who got the 5" green terror i went back for!
 
Well I got a pair of red terrors from a vendor but not sure if they are true red festae. And then I grabbed the last 2 festae from Rapps after Scott from York cichlid club grabbed the other 2. Was a great time and had a blast. Being a SA/Ca guy I did notice that Africans were the main attraction in the marketplace. Met some great people and will be going back next year.

The convention went great! Solid turnout and a ton of fun! Hats off to the staff members who did so much work (that means you Matt, as well as Tony, Jon, Christine, Mike, and all the rest of the club).
 
I had a great time at AquaMania. The CCA members were great hosts. Matt (dogofwar) did a great job and I want to say thank you for all the work he, and the rest of the club members put into a great event. I also enjoyed talking to Jon (jonclark) and several others whose names I must apologize escape me at the moment. I also had the pleasure of meeting Rachel(Msjinkzd) whose presentation was a homerun and Li (Neoprodigy) two really nice people that were great to talk to. A special, thanks to Jesse & Amanda for the ride to restaurant great food, drink and conversation. All the speakers and vendors did a fantastic job. I was very impressed. All together a great weekend with some very knowledgeable, nice and fun loving people. Great job everyone, thank you again for your dedacation and helping to make this the great hobby it is.
 
To call Rachel's presentation a home run is an understatement. It was a grand slam (the bases...er...seats in room...were loaded)!

Li was the Platinum Sponsor of AquaMania and it's hard to say how much his support means for fish clubs like ours and the hobby in general. And he's a heck of a good guy!

It was so much fun to meet so many new folks at the event. I think we broke 250 registered for the event and/or marketplace plus and untold number of kids and visitors, including 15 kids and families who brought home free 10g set-ups! Hopefully AquaMania will introduce lots of folks to fish clubs and get them involved :)

Great hanging with Tom (Aquanero) as well. We actually met each other (when we didn't know who we were) when Tom was heading out of the room during an African Cichlid presentation. He said something like, "Not interested. Coming back to see the New World Speaker (Ken Davis, who rocked)." AWESOME!!!!

Cheers,
Matt
