Fish Donations For the Rare Fish Auction

CCA:

As in years past, we have arranged for donations of some cool fish from great vendors across the country, but these vendors aren't the only source for Rare Fish. If you have some fish that you'd be willing to donate for the auction, please shoot me a PM letting me know. Closer to the event, we'll set up the auction on MyGroupAuctions, but please don not register fish until you have coordinated with me.

If you've got some cool stuff (and I know that a lot of you do), please consider donating them for the auction. Keep in mind that there are a few rules for donations:

1. The fish should be something out of the ordinary. This isn't an auction to get rid of yellow labs or convicts.

2. Juvenile fish need to be a minimum of 1" long.

3. Fish will need to be delivered to The BFD. We will have tanks set up to house the fish.

4. If you have a large adult fish/group that you'd like to donate, we may need to have them in a bucket or other holding tank that will become part of the auction lot.

Let me know what you've got!

Thanks,
Jon

Do longfin super reds count? Assuming nothing goes wrong I should have some at at least an inch by that time.

Those would be cool, Lucas.

Sounds good, how many do you think?

I'll have some donations, Jon. At least 3 CARES species should be ready...

How many would you buy if you were purchasing juvies? I'd think 4 would be the minimum I would get.

Thanks Matt!

I'll do 4-6 depending on how many I have.

Very good. Thanks for the donations.

Also, remember that 20% of the sales from the auction will be donated to conservation efforts through the Babes In The Cichlid Hobby!

Matt - let me know what you are planning on donating so we don't double up.

Hi Jon - Most likely:

Stompatepia pindu from Lake Barombi Mbo
F1 Cryptoheros myrnae
F1 Cryptoheros septemfasciatum

I'll have some Melanochromis chipokae Chidunga Rocks ready if you feel those would be appropriate. They are a CARES species.

CARES species are great!

I will donate a group of juvenile aequidens metae.
