Title: GCCA box swap
Post by: Regalblue on May 11, 2013, 07:00:48 AM
I'm getting a box swap set up with the GCCA for August & looking for donors.

For those of you who do not know.... A box swap is where you trade a box of fish for another box of fish with another club.

Post what you have available.

Rick Borstein is coming in August.  He is going to collect bags from the GCCA members. 
I will collect bags from our members.
 When Rick gets here I will trade our bags for the bags he brought & distribute them to our members. (Only those who donated)


I have some severums..... Is it rare stuff were looking for? 
Not necessarily rare. But, I'd like Chicago to be "wow  MCA members are keeping & breeding some nice species "

What I'd like to collect is 8 bags of 6 fry (1.5-2")

Mark me down for a bag.  Probably Johanni if they are big enough by August - which they should be.

Where will the collection point be? I have hopes my Hondurans will be that big by then if they would work in the trade and you are going to be close enough for me to bring them.

I can probably bring a bag of White Labs down to the picnic Blair. You'd have to hold my return bag for me until I could come down to your place tho. Let me know.

Well Blair you know I have these ruby green haps... Being new I don't know what exactly you're looking for. If they will be big enough by then I'd be happy to donate some of them?
