So with Dave completing his shipping list, we received his donation list. Holy smokes.

The first of 12 lots.

Never seen these before...

First for the rare fish auction:

Mylochromis ericotaenia Manda

I'm downsizing Malawi, but will be all over these guys...

Whoa. Never seen those in my 30 plus years of fishkeeping!

Remember that Dave ALSO sponsored the beer and soda that you'll be drinking on Sat night at AquaMania (if you registered)...

Thanks Dave!

I'm going to have to back up my bet by stuffing the Dave's gift certificate raffle! Looks like we may have a bidding war before opening the auction to the attendees :).

As the dust has sort of settled on the event, I want to drop back and again thank Dave for his generous donations for the event.

Besides the items I've already listed in this thread, Dave also donated the following unbelievable items:

Lethrinops sp. "Mbawa"

I was running around a bit, but from what I saw of the auction, these fish went at great prices - both of the club and for the buyers.

Thank you every one who participated in the auction and thanks so much to our sponsor Dave Schumacher! :happy0180:

If you've never checked out his list, go there and do it. All sorts of other incredible fish there.

If you picked up any of these fish and have a minute, either shoot Dave a message or post on this thread and thank him for sending such awesome stuff. :)

(Thanks for the nubilia, Dave!)

I won the Mylochromis sphaerodon at a great price :) They are just juvies, but they look even better than the photo. You see a hint of yellow on the fins, but in person it is much more noticeable.

Thanks a lot Dave for them and the other great fish donations.

Very cool bud. I was thinking of grabbing them, but missed that round of auctions. Glad you picked them up and def keep me in mind when you get fry!

Gorgeous fish for sure and very different than most other Malawi haps. :)
