rchristensen114 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Lots of plants not much for fish, unfortunately I have Cichlids and they love to eat plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvision Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I snagged a few plants - one bag I wasn't really paying attention and when I got home and saw what I'd bought, I ended up throwing them into the shrimp tank. I also picked 3 young Lemon-Lime cichlids. Looking forward to seeing these grow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingin' It Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Whew...am I tired! LOL Just got home from Edmonton and came home with 6 F1 Hero Rotkeil (Orange necktie Severum) which I practically stole, about 5lbs of bio balls (LOL) and 3 packages of 'fish crack'. The buy of the day though were some amazing Ventralis (Thanks searay!) They're my my new fav. fish! It was definately a sellers auction (IMO)...lots of lots, lots of plants, lots of tanks. Plecos went for CRAZY money...glad someone made a lot of dough...and i'm pretty sure the club is going to be happy with the end result!

T Dawg Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 What did we miss?? What did you get?? What do you wish you got?? I think ACE did a great job of the auction, and I liked the awards. Only possible negative is they don't have more space for auction table viewing. There seemed to be a good selection, items seemed to have decent prices, but it was very crowded and I think I had a different expectation of manners and edicate than more then a few others. I had a lot of negative interactions, minor things that seemed to occure more than usual, but that could have been magnified by the small space and large turnout.

Vallisneria Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I was so tired by the time I got home. The auction ran pretty late(after 5pm) and there was tons of items. Next time we could also use a few more people to volunteer as runners. I had a great time though. I met a few new faces and a bunch more who I never actually got their names. I think we might need to start wearing name tags :P I didn't buy too much this time around. Just a pair of Kribs and a bag(3) assassin snails. Also picked up a light(Thanks Brad) and some more Kribs(Thanks to Tom's friend, sorry can't remember her name) before the auction. I had a lot of fun and actually left with more money then what I came with :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishclubgirl Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Spent too much on a giant female betta but less than I'd pay if I brought her from overseas. At this price, she'd betta breed!!! Bought too many plants at Big Al's the day before. As always had a great time and it was awesome to put faces to names. Thanks Edmonton for putting up with us!!! And I only made one wrong turn and didn't get lost once :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crystal Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 and thanks to Crystal for the snail/plant trade. lets hope i keep these alive as good as the plants in my tank! lol. If it dies, I have more. Loved the snails, some were nice reds too. I didn't get much, bidding often went higher than I wanted to pay. I got some nice plants, some red rams, and a bag of the Lemon-lime cichlids. I loved the "red spot angels" - gorgeous! but the bidding went over my budget. PS. Does anybody know a more common (or scientific) name for these particular angels? Or who has them? I googled "red spot angel" and only found diseases... :tongue: I would like to give thanks to the wonderful Auctioneers who kept everything moving smoothly, who were informative, and very entertaining! Without them, the auction wouldn't be the same. Cheers! :thumbs: Can't wait until the Fall auction! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayfong Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Those were Pterophyllum scalare 'Red Spot Guyana'. I got those from Spencer a little over a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishclubgirl Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 And a big thanks to ACE for putting on the auction. For those of you thinking of volunteering,"running" is an excellent way to see all the merchandise. I've done it for years in Calgary and made some great buys. Sorry that I don't volunteer at the edmonton auction as it's my chance to relax. Probably missed out on something good too!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
