So personally, I had a GREAT TIME!!!....even better than last year, and John and Betty actually put me to work catching and bagging from the minute we arrived!!!
It was nice seeing Betty and John and many of the usual suspects plus meeting a few new members.
I know I caught and bagged a lot of fish myself let alone what John and Betty caught so I lost track, so my question is..."What did everyone get?
I personally went home with a dozen F-1 Nimbochromis linni that are not the easiest fish to come by, let alone offspring from wild caught parents.
-
Yeah, I'm glad I went. I got a yellow lab, two Red Empress pairs and an extra female, four julie cichlid, two orange leleupi, and a green dragon pleco.
Glad to meet you all!

It was nice to see so many familiar faces and meet some new ones. Like usual, John and Betty were wonderful hosts and it was a really nice evening.
For the most part I stocked up on some food since my tanks are pretty full, but I did find space to bring home some N. linni as well, recognizing the uniqueness of the opportunity to find some of particularly nice quality. I'd gotten some previously, but nearly all turned out to be males, so hopefully I'll have some females this time around to go with a bigger male I've got.

I didn't get a damn thing. I had every intention on going, had the girls all geeked up to go& everything.
Then my neighbor decided to start screaming obscenities at my other neighbor, with my 5 yr old right in-between them.
Needless to say- after things calmed down& the police left.... It was too late. :(

I missed it to would love to see pics if any one got any. Do thy breed new world cihlids too? And can anyone just go there need to set up an appointment?

It was nice to meet more people and have discussions with Grizz and Jeffro. I came home with 8 Mloto Likoma(gentle genus), 8 white labs, and 5 Red Top Hongi. Any advise on mixing Copadichromis Mloto Likoma and Auloncara Ngara? Does any one think the color would be a factor in aggresion?

No problem as long as the tank is big enough.

I didn't see any. In the past they've sometimes had a few varieties, though angels are the only ones I can think of off hand. They're focused mainly on africans from all lakes and the typical catfish you'd find kept with africans (various Synos, various bristlenose, etc).
And can anyone just go there need to set up an appointment?
Did you type that on a phone? It's hard to figure out exactly how you meant to construct that sentence. It's not a public business, it's their private home.

I picked up 4 Neolamprologus leleupi, 7 Fossorochromis rostratus, and 5 Synodontis petricola. Great time and conversation. Thanks to John and Betty for opening up their home.

I wish I could have participated. Work is a four letter word...

What were the free fish available called?

I believe John was giving away cutteri

I believe John was giving away cutteri
that would explain why they were free. There was a recent flooding of Cutteri earlier this year.
Don't get me wrong, they are nice fish

I think someone, maybe Manuel Luna, brought them to John and John gave them away.
-
That would be who created the flood. Well him& the ones I brought back from the extravaganza last year ;)
-
Had a great time there as well
The whole evening was an event
This was a road trip for us eastsiders but hooking up with some of the motley crew we rode over to Champs in Howell and met up with a few more of the village idiots (still feel bad for the little blond at the bar).
We got to John and Betty's place and they were just fantastic.
I picked up a few flame tails but I am afraid they did not make it.
My 4 Syno Petricolas are doing great and I was so geeked (sorry flashback) to find my Di. Compressiceps which I picked up 4.
My colony of "eye biters" is up to 8 now and wow is the Alpha male really coloring up and has laid clam to an area above a tipped over clay pot
Again thanks John and Betty

hah, well I may be contributing to the flood in the future. They just spawned in my tank and have created a nice little fortress under a slate plateau.

Young girl (twenty something)

Very first dateish
Sitting with mister thirtysomething with teeshirt, ballcap turned backwards
She was of the miss manners he hunched over his burger as if someone was going to take it
The topper was when he picked his teeth, looked at it and tried the taste a second time
