Calgary Aquarium Society Meeting - Aquarium Advice

Toirtis · 09-29-2004, 12:51 AM

It was great to meet Webmoose finally, and see Menagerie (who bought just about everything in the auction) again....and of course, to clean-up at the mini-show. :P

If you have a local society, go to the meetings, its a lot of fun!

That is not true!!! I told Webmoose NOT to let me buy any fish! Did he listen? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I came home with a Leporinus Desmotes.

I couldn't read the fish description fast enough and I didn't buy any plants

[acronym:b0878b6424="For your info"]FYI[/acronym:b0878b6424]--Trevor was home building a hood for the 80 [acronym:b0878b6424="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:b0878b6424]. He knows not to let me get near any fish!!

You may have "cleaned up" all the first place prizes, but I'm figuring it out now!!

A pretty cool fish, if you ask me.

Don't forget that 5 gallon fluorescent canopy...and you would have come back with a lot more if a few people had not outbid you... :P

With only about a 55 point deficit to make up, you had better bring a lot of fish next meeting! :P

I was glad I was able to make it and meet up with guys as well! Menagerie, I thought you were buying the Leporinus Desmotes as a snack not a pet.. Ooops.

You say Badis.. I say Badis!

Moooooose

And where exactly does the upcoming big TFBA auction fall?

Menagerie · 09-29-2004, 03:48 PM

In the midst of having some grocery money left. So, are you attending the TFBA or the Edmonton auction?

webmoose · 09-29-2004, 04:17 PM

I'm going to go to the TFBA if I can make it...

Menagerie · 09-29-2004, 05:18 PM

I hope you can come!! If you need someone to sign your permission slip, let me know
