What are you bringing for auction in November?

[dogofwar]

Amen, brother.

People need to properly label stuff, wild-type or hybrid!

And if you don't know, label it as such...

Yes. This is a serious issue. It is immoral and bad for the hobby and should not be tolerated. Other fish clubs that I have seen will ban members from future auctions if they repeatedly bring bags not appropriately marked as hybrids.

If you have fish breeding in a mixed tank, you need to be certain that fish of the same species are the ones breeding. While the appearance of the fry is not always a 100% indicator, I have seen a couple of lots of pretty obvious hybrids in the auction lately. If the female spits fry that are the wrong color/melanin pattern/body shape/are OB (and shouldn't be), they are hybrids. Pretty simple.

If in doubt, mark them as hybrids. All is not lost and your fish will breed again, I promise.

You can still bring them to auction and folks will most likely still purchase them, but they need to be marked properly.

That's an extremely generous donation Jordan, if I remember correctly you paid $9 ea for 1" fish from RSC plus shipping. I'm not the best at math but if you donate 15 of the original group that's a good bit of money, not counting the fry/juvies.

I'm now going on record as stating that I will quit raggin' ya for not joining the club yet...

I'm bummed that I can't come to the November meeting. I'll be spending my weekend doing live-in group counseling (Friday to Saturday) with middle school aged girls. Wish me luck! And I hope everyone enjoys the meeting!!!

Being a middle school teacher, I am saying a prayer for you! I'm sure you'll be great.
Tell them to stay away from boys!!!
