Well, right now I have in my 50 the little duboisi and 2 of those tetro frontosa looking things and a syno upsidedown cat together, and in my 77 I have my 7" front, the 2 moori's I picked up from auction and my aulonacara bi-color I bought from last years giant auction.. my tanks are a little bare and inactive right now, so I definately would want to get more fish, I would really like to get a colony of some kinda tropheus preferably duboisi but if they are too pricey that will not be possible.. so for now I will explore all my options see what's what, but in all likelyhood I will only be able to afford 8-10 at most then figure out what tank and what combinations I can go with as I am sure what's in the 77 will go with what's in the 50

How many Duboisi did you get from the auction?

Just the 1.. there was 2 bags of 1 Duboisi, I won the first one and someone out bid me on the 2nd

Hey, who won the killifish?  They were neat looking... what was their scientific name?

[mseguin]

I know they were aphyosemion, i believe the species name was calliurum, but may be wrong. There were also some clown killies. I wanted the Aphyo's bad, but it got too expensive for my budget.

[squeeker]

Yah, ditto.  Whoever brought those... if you have any more, pm me!

Petsmart on Innes has Golden Wonder killies. Very nice fish, thinking of getting some myself.

I did a quick check on the MTL site, and there seem to be quite a few members with killies, and quite a few species, so maybe at the MTL auction the selection will be better? Anybody who's been to the MTL auction, how is the killie selection usually?

[Shouganai]

how is the non-cichlid selection in general? hehe

[pegasus]

Most of us who went down last time were looking for africans and did not look much for anything else. There's a killies fish club in Montreal. The best person to answer these question would be Zapisto who sometime visite our forum.

As a first timer at the auction, I was pretty impressed esp to pull things together you need a considerable number of volunteers, volunteer time and as well as the logistics of organizing. Hats off to all of you!!! I did buy some items and wish I know when some other items were coming up, but I had to leave before my family sent out a missing person advisory.

Congrats to the club for putting on a great auction. It was my first and I was looking forward to going, the only problem I had was explaining my purchases to my wife when I got home, she got over it pretty quick. I have always wanted to go to a meeting or two but live to far away but after meeting so many fantastic people I will attend the occasional meeting. Again job well done..............

Boy... make your wives sound like fish ogres. How about spending 1/3 of the time you spend doting on your aquarium with your wife? Maybe you won't have to ask for forgiveness as often.

touchy ground.....  :?

That's why I've gotten her involved. Her project is breeding bettas, and if we have to spend some money on her, then I definitely get to spend some on my fish, and alot of the stuff is mutual. :-)

[FishPassion]

My wife has gotten very involved in my tanks and we discuss the different possibilities and setups available. Hell she even went out and bought a cichlid that she really wanted.

or the easier way,  which I preferred for awhile, was not get a wife/girlfriend and then you dont even have the issue.
