Do it, Jesse!
All the cool kids are donating stuff.
It'll make you feel good...

I don't currently have an Goodieds, but could try to hunt them down if there is interest. The Goodied guru in PVAS is pretty generous.
I will have to take a look at my Apistogrammoides group. If I can figure out a pair, they will definitely go in the Silent Auction.

Tomorrow is the GWAPA meeting, so I'll try to get some members to round up some nice plants to donate to the auction!

Will donate one M/F adult pair of WC Peruvian Biotodoma cupido (via Michael Barber). Markedly different coloration from my original spawning group, prefer to maintain the distinctive strains. Hate to let them go but don't really have space to do justice to both - nice for someone.

It is Mike's call, but I think plants might be better for the CCA Marketplace table. Once you have the donations you can register them in MyGroupAuctions(select donation and enter the asking price as the minimum bid).

No worries Jesse. It was just that Matt had asked me a couple weeks ago if we could donate a one or two packages for the auction.

I think a couple of packages of cool plants would work great 
Thanks so much for the generosity of GWAPA...

Thanks everyone for the generous donations. Tony and I were kicking some things around last night and there are a few more vendors that we are going to reach out to for donations. We'll keep you posted.

It would be really cool if you could list the preferred water conditions, or what types of fish they'd work best with. Might help increase the bids, and potentially have people bidding on multiple lots.
Thanks to any GWAPA member who can donate. I'm going to try and make the next meeting thats on the MD side of the river.

I'll do my best. March is a little busy, but I want to get more involved with other clubs when possible. I'll keep an eye out for more info, or touch base with you soon.

We will also have some donations from Ted Judy (plants, fish, and repashy) but I don't have a specific list yet.
It will likely be non-cichlids to increase the variety, but for a possible preview, check out his website: www.tedsfishroom.com.

Will likely be donating a potential pair of rock-dwelling Tangs.
Anyone other members have anything to donate?

Do you have a pic of these fish? Or does another member have one they would be willing to share.

this reeks of fish racism.
It sings for me.. seems far too many folks are interested in the CA and SA scene on the CCA forums and club to the detriment of those of us in the African minority.

I definitely beg to differ with this statement!
My perception is that this club is a little Old World heavy, if you ask me. But in truth, its probably pretty close to 50/50. But old world species, at least from my perception, seem to dominate the auctions at most meetings, as well as the members only group buys (of which, there hasn't been one in a while). Speaking mostly on cichlids though, not so much on plecos, and other fish.Eh... either way though, there are plenty new world guys and stuff around to keep me interested! Love this club!

While new world has been growing in the last year or two, the club has always been old world heavy.
