I meant to pick up some food from the oyers but I forgot, I got some real deals on the tropheus.

I really wanted to pick up some discus or maybe a couple small angles for my wifes tank but there were no discus and the angles there just were not what I was looking for.

Cryptoheros nanoluteus pair - been looking for these guys for about 8 months, so was glad to finally snag a pair.

 Gold ocellatus pair - in a 10 for now, mqy switch up with the ones in my 20 long at work/get rid of extra males.

 Panda garra - really cool sucker kind of loach that I've only seen a few times - from Fred, not the auction.

 Finally, another batch of red cherry shrimp from shaundunham...which will go in the cool 2gallon cube tank I picked up from Rich Emmers' vendor table.  :)

 Oh, and a couple books on saltwater corals and saltwater inverts, courtesy of Rob L/Fish Hobbiest.

And finally. ..I won some nannacara annomala...thanks for donating them Tony and for dropping them by, Josh

I came home with a bag of 4 beautiful Angel fish.  As for the vendors, I bought two pieces of driftwood from the pleco caves table, and two rocks from Rich Emmers.  Thought it was a great auction, but used some restraint on my buying this time!

8x 'lamprologus' caudopunctatus (red fin)
Pair of Kribs
Bag of guppy grass

I emptied 3 tanks the night before,  as I usually bring home more than I have room for.
I STILL had to shuffle things around once home. ;)

    The auction was run pretty well!  first one for me.  next time I will make some room and be a better shopper.  But I brought home, ( 5 )  Moba fry.  They replaced a couple of ill tempered Calvus that didn't do anything in the tank but bicker.   And some pleco caves.    I do like Calvus a lot and have more but those were rotten. ( still scarred )

I don't mean to completely change the subject of this thread, but I will have you know that I just realized that I read your posts in your voice.

There used to be only two.  Fall and Spring.  Now there may be Fall, early spring, late spring.  The fall auction this year is in September IIRC.  Check the events section of the site for confirmation.

FWIW, I'd consider the January auction to be winter rather than spring.  :)

If the weather hadn't broken, we could have considered the most recent one to be late winter.  :)
