NJAS Spring auction
- Thread starter gapman01
- Start date
The event is held indoors,on Saturday the flea market is open to all types of vendors but last year it was about 75 to 80 percent just fish related. Local pet stores, distributors, and club members sold everything from equipment to plants as well as some great deals on uncommon fish.
The auction starts at 12:00 on Sunday with viewing of the auction goods from 11 to 12. What is great about the auction is that there is plenty of common things such as java moss and fern but a lot of rare species of fish and plants. I've seen everything from large discus and cichlids to very small and very rare livebearers. The club has a large breeding program so you can find a lot of fish in pairs and groups of mixed sexes. Last year I found some female rainbows which can be hard to find

Thanks for the info! I would be driving from Northern Mass, so I need to be sure that it is worth my while. Is the market mostly fish, or mostly dry goods? Thanks much!
Is there an entry fee?

The flea market on Saturday has dry goods as well as plants and fish.The auction on Sunday is mostly fish and plants. I always find it to be worth going because out of hundreds of bags there is always bound to be a few things I am interested in. Because the auction goods are supplied by NJAS members the plant and fish selection is varied and there is more uncommon and rare species than I find in most local stores
There are a couple of aquarium societies in Florida that hold tropical fish auctions.
