-Calico Convict Cichlids
-Ctenopoma species. "leaf fish"
-Adult angelfish (5) 2 of them are white and black with no gold and no silver... very beautiful. Will be a few days before I can get pics of them because a tank is being setup for them and they are in a low tank right now so lighting is bad for pictures.
-Yellow lab cichlids (gave to Coryd55 for feeders for the Pike livebearers he got from us.)
-Pretty rocks that I will get pics of soon
-Chapalightys Paradilis (pair)
-Amazon swordplant (pictured above)

-More hornwort (plant)
-More pretty rocks that were cheap and will be pictured in the next few days
-Mixed fancy guppies (feeders for CoryD55's Pike Livebearers. )
-More mixed fancy guppies (same fate as last listing)
- 3 bags of Azola (pictured above)
-Paradalis (trio)

I went through all the purchase slips to construct this list, which explains why several of the same things are not next to each other in the list.

Wow lol. Do i see the word "Pot" on that bag of plants?

Whenever they settle in i'd like to see the Calico Convicts. I believe there was a thread just recently pertaining to them.

Sounds like all of you had a great time.

I had a blast at the auction! Attending an auction when you have been keeping fish for a few months is much different than attending when you don't know a guppy froma cichlid! Being a bit social, I loved seeing all the folks I met and got to know at the ACA convention. As to the auction itself, I got more than I bought thanks to the generosity of some friends . I bought a beautiful proven pair of black veil tail angels. Thanks to Cory for urging me to keep my bid card up. I was ready to stop at 35. I was planning to stop at 45 when a good friend urged me to keep going. Luckily I ddn't have to go higher - I got them for 44. I bought quite a few plants, some food and two limia perugiae to mix with my current stock. I got a bag of guppies for Cory's pikes and I was gifted a tank top, a plant and a breeding pair of bristlenose plecos with cave.

Finding a space for everyone wasn't tooooo bad. I moved the 3 young yellow labs and 1 albino m. greshakei from the 20 g where I was holding them until I decided what to do with them. They went into the 55g cichlid with much reservation. So far all is well but I want to add a couple more stories of rocks to provide a few extra hiding niches. Back to the 20g: Had to remove the coral and high pH water. Bagged the 2 albn plecos for a bit and added a bout 3 inches of sand, my new plants and a couple plants from the other 55. On to the 55 which was where the work came in. Catchig the limia perugia and the multitude of their fry was not easy. Also had a few guppy fry that had managed to be born before what we thought were the last of them were sold. I left the alb plecos. Moved all the limia perugiae and fry to the 20g. Mixed in the 2 plecos, new limia perugiae and poof one tank done.

I was dragging by this point so Cory came to help. He floated my angels and plecos while I cleaned up a bit. He transferred them in for me too. Last tank done. AS soon as I was sure they were all ok, off went the lights.

You may have noticed I didn't mention sales - I only sold three things and they were just blip on the auction block!

Thanks to everyone who made the auction a success AND thanks to everyone here who made it possible for me to be a fishkeeper.
