I am from Cleveland area I was there it was a blast 3 days of fish !!! and the speakers were great
I have been to the OCA extravaganva in the past (have not made it this year). I also went to one ACA convention.
IMO, the OCA is just as good as the ACA convention (both were excellent). We are really fortunate in Ohio to have the OCA.. It's a lot of fun to go from room to room and see what people are seling.. I got a lot of nice fish that way.
Nice story: A few years ago, I was in the show room/display area. There was a nice Protomelas Spilonotus Tanzania on display. I made a comment about how I've been looking for this fish to a stranger standing next to me. He calls his buddy that was coming the next day, who brings fry for me to buy. lol.. That's a sample of what a nice atmosphere that event is.
