Hey dogowar, some of us ECC guys are pretty big guys...not so sure that I would offer any of us FREE food!
Yeah ... I would have to agree. Maybe just for May we should charge. We would make a killing
Probably not going to make this one... although Julie is tempting me lol

All I can say is *WOW*, you guys missed an awesome auction!!!
Jumbie, Kevin and Wendy, Bev and a few others did make it. Almost too much! Africans were probably the fish of the day, apistos were plentiful so the prices were low (good for me, bad for the sellers!)
An observation by Mark Denaro... "There was enough organization and energy and workers in this room today to run an ACA auction".
.. a truly well run event, that was only slightly marred by limited parking and a small room. Great job, ECC!!!

I knew it! Darn it!!! I am so :angry3: right now. That's it!!!!!!!!
That's the final straw...I'm letting the wife have it!
Just because!
I'm kidding, I love my W.
But I had no space anyways, oh well.
Julie, did you pick up any Aulonocara species? Or Haps from the event, maybe you might want to part with them.

Richard,
There were several kinds of Aulonacara there, the usual, and one or two more rarely seen. *pouring salt on the wound*
But I didn't get any of those, just one cyp, some tropheus for Sarah, some plants, and many apistos!
Oh, and some red devils by mistake... if anyone is interested in some.
Oh, and some *new world tropheus* called neets!

I had a GREAT TIME!!! I got some WC and really rare apistos, cyps (Blue Flash; 3 out of the 9 died before I got home, and a nice size colony of Trophoues. Not to add salt to anyone’s injury but the prices I paid for all my fish especially the apistos were unbelievable!!!

It was absolutely great to meet everyone.
After the auction was over I spoke to the guy who runs the hall about "the next time"...
"The next time" we will be upstairs...MUCH more room!.
"The next time" we will have a microphone...his response, "why didn't you say something...I have a few"....DOH!
Although I keep almost all Africans I did bid on and win a few non-African lots.
There were some EXCELLENT Aulonocara there (am I pouring more salt?).
One of our members breeds beautiful Lwanda, and he brought about three lots of juvies. The Yellow Jakes were really nice and there was an adult pair of Albino Eureka that went for $90! The rare fish auction was an Aulonocara Ethelwynnae Wild Caught trio.
All in all we had 456 lots that we auctioned off and some great food.
Bacon and egg sandwiches and pancakes were the morning call, and by the end of the day hot dogs, cheeseburgers and french fries were flanked by kielbasi sandwiches and homemade pierogies!
See everyone on May 9th!

Sorry it took so long to reply my home computer is not working so I have to use the computer a my job.
I got a total of 16 Lupota, Apistos; Black Chin, Fressa, Piexoto, and some Norberti, and the L numbers started out selling for $40-$50:wacko: but then towards the end some of the same species that were selling for $40-$50 were going for $10-$15.:lol:

I always laugh at that name They're just like Tropheus except they're gray, substrate spawn in pairs, and hang out in the rocks (don't swim around much).
That said, I have a tank of them myself!
