Montreal Auction - How was it?

[328iGuy]

Hey

to all who attended the auction today, let us all know how it was, what you got and what great deals you got!

Thanks

[pegasus]

Well there was a colony of Tropheus Flametail, but I did not have the $200 that it was sold at. I did get a mature Kaiser for $2 and $19 for 5 juveniles.
$22 for 3 Frontosa
$19 for 3 Calvus (there was some real nice one, ask Steve but I bought mine without looking, dam they less then 1/2") Someone was laughing and it was not me.
I did get my Walter worms.

There was a lot of Julis, Leptosoma, Aulonocara, Apistos and Killies but only one brevis.

Steve Cass was the obvious winner for his sales , his new acquisitions and his 2 prizes.

I sold 4 tretocephalus for $38 while my Rusty, the C44, Zebra & crabro went for $2-$6.... (I smell a fire sale soon)

Ok for now, I'll let the others gloat about their day in Montreal.

Ahh so you managed to pick up some Tropheus.  Are you housing them all in the same tank (Wouldn't be highly recommended unless the tank is 100+ gallons)?

Sounds like you did alright though, I wouldn't have minded picking up some more Aulonocara species to add to my already existing "collection" .

So what did everyone else pickup?

[artw]

I didn't buy anything but the driving was interesting
definately a buyers market with great deals all around.  850+/- items

[328iGuy]

Should have gone!  

[pegasus]

Should have gone!

I hate to say.." We told you so " in so many ways.

Ron would have made a killing... their plants were awfull.

[328iGuy]

Ahh well, next year.

I would have liked to have gone,  but I should not be allowed to go to places like that.  

I would  have ended up buying some Tropheus and fronts and then I would have had to buy some new tanks  with money that I don't have AND I would have to tell my wife that I got more fish :x

You interested in Tropheus?  I am going to pick an order in T.O on Friday for anyone thats interested.

[Evan]

I can't have any right now,  I don't have any where to put them.

On some far off day I will get some though.

BTW  I forgot  James also won a Fluvial.

Once mine start breeding maybe we can work out a deal !

were htere good prices on filters and such?

[artw]

Relatively.  All of my stuff went for a steal,  like the perfectly good 20 gallon for $2.  So it was a bit dirty,  but it was worth more than $2  (grr)

[Evan]

If I get another tank by that time I would likely be interested.

I was really happy to pick up 7 Cyprichromis leptosoma at the auction.  I thought they would be a nice addition to my cichlid community tank.

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

YIKES!

When did they do that, overnight or immediately when they were introduced?
