If anyone is on the fence about attending this event, I highly recommend it for cichlid folks. I went last year and if it wasn't so close to my due date I'd be going again. At the auction last year I got my breeding pair of t. snyderae for $12, and the day before I got 6 of Ken Davis's Serotheradon lohbergeri at a mini auction. There's no way to tell for sure of course how the lots/bidding will go this time around, but last year there didn't seem to be many cichlid folks there. Some great fish going for very little money.
