Oh, and a bunch of fish, some holey rock and filter on the ride back, and a ton of great info from the speakers. Fun time hanging with the CCA folks.

I picked up a trio of Synodontis waterloti and saddle back loaches from the Batfish. Unfortunately 2 of the loaches so far are no longer with us.
i got maxijet 600 and heater from Leffler.
Got a group of CW016 corydoras teniente from Don Kinyon via the rare fish auction.
Some plants from Nick and Jen's table.
A nice cO2 regulator from the GWAPA table.
Got an awesome piece of wood from Aquacarium.
A music stand from Lane Kelley although he wants it back.
But best of all i got to have a great weekend at an awesome event with some wonderfully awesome old and new friends.

I got:
4" Crenicichla sp. 'Atabapo II' from Jeff Rapps (my first pike!)
2" L190 Panaque nigrolineatus from Batfish (it was too freaking adorable to pass up)
Happy to report that both are eating a pooping in their isolation box on the quarantine tank, so things are looking good!
Thanks to all of the great vendors that were there at the BFD. I know it takes a lot of effort and stress to set up/break down those displays, but browsing those displays is honestly one of my favorite parts of the BFD.

Man, all these posts about what people bought is making me seriously jealous. I bought my tickets and planned to attend (I live just a few miles away in Rockville), but was laid up all weekend with bronchitis!
So if we could just shut down this thread, I think it would help with my recovery

I think there were 2 L190s, but the other one was in the next tank over! I mean, as soon as I saw him my heart skipped a beat. I had to have him.

No worries. Don will have them spawning in the next week. Coming to an auction near you in a few months.

Don't forget the conditions.
Guessing conditions means you get first dibs at the fry.
My understanding is that this species may be extinct in the wild, due to development.

Check out Planetcatfish.com. It is the best resource for catfish that I've found.
