Back from auction with a bunch of SWEET FISH

[severum mama]

Tiring day, but well worth the effort... we got up at 4 this morning to get ready and head out for Charlotte, NC. It's about a 3.5-4 hr drive so we decided just to take a couple bags of shrimp and several bags of plants (all of which we packed last night).

We ended up with:
Guianacara stergiosi juvies- 2 bags
5 ADULT Mesonauta festivus, 2 proven pairs and a fifth wheel
Cichlasoma dimerus juvies
Apisto Rio Narino GORGEOUS adult male
L. repens
Apisto cacatuoides orange flash- 2 adult males
A croaking gourami (Trichopsis vittata)
2 ADULT Mesonauta acora
some awesome Crypt wendtii "Florida sunset"- we'll be propagating these
A super nice young blue crayfish, about 3"
Young group of 5 Betta enisae
Juvie australoheros scitulus
4 Apisto gibbiceps juvies

LOL. Of course! We actually filled a couple of styro coolers with fish. Even with 80 tanks, we only have so much room at once.

I honestly don't know. It's a neat little fish though.

It is an annual event. Sorry, you missed it. They seem to have a great club building up there. Check them out C A A S :: Index. The Raleigh club also seems to be very active and I think they are planning a workshop with speakers on various fishy topics soon.

 

[greaver83]

Ty you for the info i will look into it

 

[BillD]

Auctions are great, and so is belonging to a club/society.

"Crypt wendtii "Florida sunset""

Nice! I bought one a few years ago and it's gone crazy in my 40. Eco-Complete and CO2.

 

[ejaramillo01]

Cool, sounds like a great trip for both of you.
Beautiful fish you got!

 

[Cichildlife]

How big do they get????? They are cute!

 

[Morgie]

What and where in Charlotte? I live here and I had no idea anything was happening, but then again I'm not really in the fish loop :b

 

[bruinsbro1997]

Which ones?

The apistos and Bettas, they sound real cool! Wouldn't mind some sunset crypt wenditti either. Let me know if you guys are going to try to grow/breed them, I would be happy to buy some from you
