Yourfishstuff sold me some really nice looking super spurilina flake and other foods. SCC's pinched pleco caves were exactly what I needed for my plecs. I also grabbed some things for a member who couldn't attend. The price was Great on everything, and I'm all stocked up for the winter.
Everything was run so professionally and I was impressed with what went on today. I had a great time meeting everyone. It was great to finally put faces to the names. :beerchug:

3 lots of paracyps! And the one with 3m/2f had a female holding! I think they belonged to tricuit? What did ya feed'em?!

I wondered when I bagged them this morning- I think she must have spawned in the travel tub! :becky:

They are fed NLS, but another high quality sinking pellet should do. I've also been throwing in some golden pearl (from YFS) in that tank, and the holding females like to snack on those small particles.

Just an idea for future use, what about a table for pre-reg's and a table for walk-ins and bidders cards?

Nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon for fishheads, re-visit old friends and meet new ones. THANK YOU

You and Tony got lucky getting that lot. If wasn't for a certain club member stiffing me, I would have gave you a run for your money. LOL

[fischfan13]

An Eheim inline filter, food from YFS and an Anubias Coffeefolia.

Well I really didn't have too much in my sights this time around, but I wasn't going to miss it. Got out bid on 2 groups of Cyno Afra Cobwe and a group of Christmas Fulu. But I did pick up 2 of the 4 bags of Carib Sea sand. I had to leave a bit early, so I missed out on the late day stuff. Still a good time though!

[Zippo]

WHO GOT HANS DISCUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:becky:

[Fishymike]

Excellent auction! I brought down some donations in addition to many New World cichlids f Massachusetts, then the Patriots beat the Jets that night, what a great day!

I got in a bidding war with Ed V. on a wild trio of Australoheros scitulum but eventually won them. I bought a cave log from SSC and some krill from Yourfishstuff. I would have had more cash if I didn't get stood up on two pairs of fish that the person decided not to buy, so I brought them down for the long ride. Good thing I had a battery air pump going.

Always a good time at the ECC auction.

[FishFrenzy]

FishyMike,
I take exception to that last part. I was at the auction for 3.5 hours with my son. I asked around for you and people were telling me they didn't know what you looked like .I even picked up some batches of fry that were from the pair I wanted , just because the pic you sent me was on the bag. I gave you my mobile phone number . I was expecting a phone call. Something like ,Dude I'm here ,I brought you the Pair where are you? No worries, I'll still take the pair.Ship them to me . I'll pay the price we discussed plus shipping. I
was very dissappointed not getting them.

Mike was one of our announcers...you could have asked me.
I introduced him and said that he was Mike from Massachusetts.

[FishFrenzy]

No worries. Had a great time . It was my first auction. Like I said , I gave out my mobile number. Still would love the pair. Thanks to ECC for a really cool event.

Hey Fish Frenzy, I called you twice and left messages. Sorry that we did not connect, don't know why you did not get my messages. I still have the pair. I thought I said I would be working calling out lots. Oh well.

I wasn't talking about you, it was another guy that stood me up on a pair of Cubans and a pair of Krobia. I learned he changed his mind but never told me. I tried to contact him prior to the auction too, but heard nothing.

I'll PM you about the carpintes. They seem fine after the trip. Sorry about the troubles!
Mike
