What did you get at BFD?

[mchambers]

There were seeming hundreds of group buys, four vendors all three days, a rare fish auction, and forty tables of vendors on Sunday. So, what did you get?

I'll start:
Tangled up in Cichlids - group of Bujurquina vittata (South American cichlid that is a delayed mouthbrooder)
Batfish - Celestial Pearl Danios, otocinclus, Microgeophagus altispinosa, and Cobalt pellets
Your Fish Stuff - the new Seafood Crumble, Decap BBS, and Golden Pearls

At the marketplace, I picked up some Aqua-Pharm micro pellets, a couple of air pumps, some cool plants, including Bucephalandra, and a mattenfilter setup for a 20L from MarkK .

There was a so much good stuff this weekend! I only wish I had more space for fish. I ended up getting:

From Jeff Rapps - a pair of Lake Catemaco fenestratus (I regretted selling the pair I had before and wanted to keep them again), a L-037 and a L. heterodon.

From Batfish - chaetostoma, mollies (for dithers), and a w/c Oscar. I haven't kept an Oscar in 25 years, so I got one!

From Dave - a. maylandi

And a late Christmas present from Tony through the auction - synodontis decorus.

I also picked up a bunch of food from YFS and a 40 Long from Chris Pine.

Got some great deals:
Batfish super sponsor (IMO) hooked me up with 3 Apistogramma pandure, 10 Beckfords pencil fish (planning on getting more), 1 anubis bartering, and 3 ludwigia ovalis plants.

One Protomelas sp. Steveni Taiwan twain reef (was on my bucket list)

From Dave Rare Aquarium Fish, Aquaticlarity provide a pair of apistogramma Borelli pantanel doing fine in my score of the weekend Jens prize winning tank. Plenty of food from YSF or course another great sponsor.

I got some great fish from the BFD, but almost all came indirectly.

Folks trying to switch up their inventory prior to the BFD, led to my obtaining 6 adult discus!

I also got a batch of 12x Rummy Nose Tetras from Batfish Aquatic's incredible pre-order list, once out of quarantine they will make a great addition to my planted show tank.

Then Don hooked me up with a pair of his apistogramma trifaciatas! Very excited to start breeding these guys.

Finally, Gabriel completely surprised me at Sunday's Market Place, by hooking me up with a bag full of 12 young plecos, though i'm not entirely sure what species they are. (Gabriel, if you are reading this could you kindly inform me?)

Thanks all for making the BFD possible. I know I'm relatively new to the club, but it was great to meet lots of new faces and to participate in both the Aquarium the Beautiful Competition as well as the Market Place events!

Yeah I was setting up my crap at the table and didn't realize the time. Next thing I knew there were people speed walking passed me like the fire alarm went off. At that point I knew it was too late lol.
