Montreal Auction - How was it?

[artw]

Yes,  but I never use minimum bids...

[artw]

That is until I witness my Nimbochromis venustus and Nimbochromis livingstoni gobbled them up as soon as I introduced them to my tank.

Hate to say I told ya so
did any maisonis survive?

[Marx]

When is the next big auction?? anywhere?

[BigDaddy]

The OVAS giant auction is in March (artw has corrected me).

OVAS, March something
Quebec City, April 17th (I think)

Ask Art, every time you bid on those I let you go for it. I was realy hopping to see those at the auction and there they were....  :cry:  :cry: now gone   :cry:  :cry:

Yes they had reserved bid.

We saw a 48x18 cabinet go for $8
A 1.5hp water pump for $12 or $15 (Art correct me if wrong)
Grindall worm $16  seller is    

And Art.... I felt bad for your tanks... but take hart... you know that your new breeding project will fit into your closet.

They were eaten immediately after I release the bag.  I was quite surprise to see the venestus being able to swallow them whole because they are quite long.  

This morning I didn't see any of my fishes that I bought yesterday.  Which could be a good thing since I only see the red empress that I bought from pegasus on a sporadic basis and that means they have found a good hidden place or it could mean that my fishes had a feast last night.

Oh well, it will just add to the mystery to my tank.  

By the way, don't count on me to breed a specie that I buy at an auction.  I have too many different kind of cichlids in my tank not to have their fries eaten.

[artw]

part of our duties as fish keepers is to be responsible with our fishes - but thats for another thread.

[328iGuy]

:oops:

[maitre007]

I am responsible with fishes.  I just gave my venestus a good snack yesterday.

Quebec City is holding a convention for fish lovers on April 16 and 17 th. I heard there was to be an auction as well.

And the next thing probably happening in Montreal is not an auction but a group buy... It's being planned for sometime next spring (probably march or april).

For those who read french...

As for sunday's auction, well I met Artw and his friends and i got me a nice pair of apistos Viejita II. Great day!

Bonjour Jo,
Nice to see you on the board. How are your Apisto doing?

Sad news: The 5 Kaiser that were mostly at the bottom of the bag went directly to the bottom of the quarantine tank. They never got up again (at least by themself).

On a good note , the $2 Kaiser joined the colony and the Calvus, Frontosa and that SA dwarf (bought by mistake) are doing fine.

[artw]

good to hear your fish are doing well Michel.

Jo, welcome to the board.

[328iGuy]

Michel

So you lost the 5 Kaiser's?  :cry:

[Jo]

Bonjour Jo,

SAlut Pegase,
         
  It's your fault i'm on this forum :wink: ... You gave me this address...
 Asteure j'avais pouvoir vous casser les oreilles avec mes apisto... :wink:  :wink:  

The apistos are doing fine... I had to rearrange the tanks and the pH a bit but so far so good...

Glad to hear that you guys made it back home safe...

See u around

It appears that two of Cyprichromis leptosoma have survived.
