Wow great news! I’ll be there! This is very exciting!

 

I've never been to that convention. What can one expect at it?

 

They will hopefully list info and confirm it soon ?
They used to have competitions and speakers from Friday right till Sunday when the auction takes place .
I have just gone for the Sunday auctions but always enjoyed and usually brought home a cool fish or two ..
With lockdowns and people working from home [not me ] I would think there may a great many more fish then before from hobby breeders .
Once I see it confirmed I will probably decide to go .
I missed doing fishy things last year ..All work and no play make Jack a dull boy ..
Here is a link to the 2019 convention with the type of info I hope to see;

I hope that’s not true, it did have a location on their website so I’m not sure if they’re offering both

Hopefully that will be after the March 19-21 convention instead of being a replacement ?

Aww I got excited there when I saw the post about the North East! Then I realised that it probably meant North East US - not North East UK where I live...

Hopefully!

 

Oh this is rad, hope it's live!

 

Where are you fellow northeasterners from anyway?

 

Rhode Island!

 

Cool! I'm in MA, but I'm closer to providence than I am to Boston now

 

Where's it supposed to be? If IRL?

Have you ever heard of creatures plus in north smithfield RI? There’s also a place called OSA in Seekonk, MA! The store in seekonk is only for freshwater fish but they have a very impressive store in Coventry RI.

I've heard of OSA but never been. I'll have to check them out. Have you ever been to uncle ned's?

I haven’t! But I’ll check it out online!

 

I have heard for years about Uncle Neds ..Never made the trip .
I very rarely buy fish . Besides the Hans discus at my LFS and fish from DiscusMadness in NJ it has been years .
I seem to find something of interest at auctions though .. I hope they make it happen but they seem slow with real info ?
I am from NY [middle/upstate] and have no clue what the covid 'rules' are in CT.

I've really stopped paying attention for my own mental health lol but I assume its very similar to NY. I'm in the market for a multitude of things so this would be VERY opportune for me...

 

Hey anyone heard anything new? I’ve been watching the page for new information and I’ve yet to see anything
