Melinda, which collection point are you looking for? A few weeks ago I won a bag of 4 Kachese at the JSAS auction. They were fish donated by Doug at Reserve Stock Cichlids. Bill will say he let me win them, but don't believe him.

[Longstocking]

[Buckcich]

Innovate and be the FIRST!!!! :becky::becky:
I like the idea for those folks out of state to participate in the auction

[nick a]

That was funny ....great early morning chuckle...thanks Kurt!

[Galt]

I'd really like to find an altolamp pair at the auction. I'm hoping to find a pair that is at least 4 inches. They are going in a 30 gallon tall tank with shellies and brichardi. From the research I've done, this could/should work - do you all agree?

I'd also like to find the brichardi group at the auction but I assume that is one of the staples...

Thanks!

[Dylz]

wild caught Altolamprologus calvus white trio!
6-8" Cyrtocara moorii trio!
wild caught cyphotilapia gibberosa moba show male!
pigeon blood checkerboard and or Blue Turquoise Discus juvies as ive always wanted to try my hand with them

[pat]

simochromis isanga juvies

Thanks!I don't think the brichardi will work with the other two in a small tank like that. If the tank is 36" long it should work for the calvus and shellies or brichardi but not both.

[leffler817]

If its not too late,

Lamprologus Meleagris or Speciosus (group of 6) :)
L025


Thanks!

I may be bringing Aequidens metae, but some are very young and I may hold them back until the next auction. Not sure what I want to do just yet on these.

Will let you know if I do.

[gmoses]

I know its not the usual but the bettas that were there last time were beautiful and i am finally set up to house a bunch so hopefully they will make an appearance

[fishycichlids0]

Well I REALLY NEED Some of these to stock my 125. Litterally, its basically epmty, not including 6 yellow labs, and a lonly exaspertaus. Here is what I would like to see in order

1.)Lake malawi Rusty cihclids
2.)Yellow tail acei
3.) Exasperatus
4.) PLECOS!
5.) Somthing interesting. Lol!
Then hopefully maby I could find a good deal on a fish tank. Do you sell fish tanks their? Maby some drift wood. If its sold at the auction, maby some sand. Here are some other things I want, but not as much as I want my malawis.

1.) Breeding trios of guppies. Doubt that will be there. Wrong forum. lololol
2.) Some EBJD, and BGJD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Need those.

Ooh and this is my first post here.. Hope this stuff shows up. oHh some clown loaches could be nice too.
