Aquarium society auction - Aquarium Advice

**QTOFFER** · 10-05-2005, 11:53 PM

I've had a few unexpected expenses in the last few months, so my budget is kinda tight.
That said, aquarium society auctions are utterly and truly evil!

I walked away $25 poorer, but the proud owner of 5 beautiful quarter-sized koi angelfish, two big pieces of Java fern, and a nice big clump of water sprite.

I'm still kicking myself for not holding out a split second longer for a clump of anubias, the size of a house, that sold for $15.

BrianNY and JChillin did pretty well too.

I was questioning how well I did in spending $14 for a bag of Java Moss Qtoffer. I wanted this as a spawning medium for some tetras. After opening the bag, I realized it was enough moss to carpet my living room.

[acronym:6fc85e7175="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:6fc85e7175]...I told you that was a huge amount Brian! I agree with you on the poorer end Andy, but how in the world could anyone pass up 5 Bolivian Ram babies for $5.00??? Or, two huge bags of anacharis for $6.00???

I was up until 1:00 am acclimating the Rams. Pics will be available this evening.

Go for it, Brian! Waterproof the living room floor and walls to a height of 18 inches, and you'll have tetra wonderland!

Bill, I was up till 1AM too - acclimating the angelfish!

This morning, they were all front and center begging for food. I need to pick up some live blackworms.
