I picked the following:
Yellow labs and lots of fry
A beautiful rusty group
Labeotropheus trewavase mpanga red fry
Geophychromis lawsi group---neat fish
Metriaclima publican group--I think these used to be called kingsizei
Paralabidochromis chromogynos zue island---interesting fish lots of variability
Neochromis greenwoodi fry
Some calico, regular and albino bristlenose plecos
A nice group of P. Acei ngara
A group of large Neolamprologus hecqui
An endlers group
Some java moss
A bunch of pest snails (thanks for those:) I appreciate it)
This rounds out my classroom fish for the year. Hopefully lots of fry, no deaths and a few budding aquarists:)

I did not, I looked at them briefly but decided I didn't need them lol. The only things I won in the auction were the chrysonatus, the meleagris, vallisneria, synspilum, and the red empress juvies

Kinda bummed that the chrysonotus went for way way way less than a common run of the mill copadichromis borleyi.  Live and learn I suppose.

I know, I wasn't really looking for one but at that price I couldn't pass it up. They're awesome fish.

They are if I were sell my big group I'll let you know.  They are cool to watch when they spawn since the are are aerial spawners.

That'd be awesome. I picked up some fry from Blair a while back but they didn't make it due to a heater malfunction  :( Not sure that I'd have the space to breed them right now but I might if you ever decide to sell them

Crazycoolpeacocks, how much was that blue phantom pleco? I had my eye on the green one but figured it would be too pricy for me anyways.

Not sure about the Blue Phantom, but if I remember correct that 5" green phantom went for about $27 I think it was.
