Grabbed a couple things but not as much as I usually do. Money is tight this month so just grabbed a nice piece of driftwood for the new 6ft frontosa tank and a nice male Y.Lab from Josh. Only thing I was really looking for were maybe bigger Burundi frontosa males, but only large fronts I saw there this time were not Burundi.

Everyone must have gonnen their tax returns already or something. Lol.

I got out bid on everything I was interested in.
Smokey blue pearlscale angel pair. Had $40 in my pocket, they sold for $55. Breeding groups of aspistos, had $20, stopped watching at $28......

All fun though. I got a bag of mystery plant for $3

    I won the snowball pleco.  I ran bags and angel prices stayed pretty consistent all day.   Very good turn out I thought.

I was really surprised at how much some of the angels were selling for at this auction.

Tony I'm right there with ya bud, I think I got about 1.5-2hrs sleep last night max as well. I wasn't up getting fish ready or anything (just insomnia) but I felt half asleep all day as well  :-\

Well, you've got Valentine's Day covered. I'm sure your wife loves the new fish better than a box of chocolates.....they won't go from the lips to the hips ;) as my mother used to say.

I supplied the Snowball for the raffle. It didn't surprise me that it drew the second highest number of tickets after the 75g tank and 3D background.
