Any aquatic plant groups in southern california? - Page 2

The meetings seem to be (always) held at the Costa Mesa Community center (behind the Petco on Newport Blvd.), next door to the C.M. library, the first Sunday of every month (from 1-5 p.m.). They have a website (www.fishclub.freeservers.com), but it's not always updated. But you can go there to get the directions, and any contact #s you might need.

So it seems that COAST just might be worth checking out...especailly if we can draw in more planted tank fans from this forum. The next meeting is Sunday, the 4th. I hope to be there and hope you guys can make it too. Thank you all for your input!

Oh one more thing. I am very interested in trying out PMDD. If any of you are planning on going to COAST and have extra PMDD, I will pay you for it. Please message me if you have some thanks.

One more South OC'er here, Aliso Viejo to be exact

. Let me know if you guys wanna go sometime, I'd be interested in checking out their meetings as well.

wonder woman · 01-29-2004, 07:43 PM

amanowannabe-
I think the next COAST meeting will actually be NEXT Sunday, the 8th. The 4th was last month. And I'm with you on getting more planted tank enthusiasts- I'm becoming one!
Hope to see you there!

Gomer · 01-29-2004, 07:58 PM

If I am around next sunday, I'll go. I won't have any plants to bring in though *L*

The following month I might.

wonder woman · 01-29-2004, 09:37 PM

Oops! Just heard from one of the guys running COAST- the meeting is THIS Sunday, the 1st (this is Superbowl Sunday, isn't it? Yikes. Wonder if anyone will be there...)

Gomer · 01-29-2004, 09:54 PM

ok..I'm not gonna be there

wonder woman · 02-03-2004, 01:12 AM

C.O.A.S.T. is reached at www.fishclub.freeservers.com. the contact person (I don't remember her name) is VERY nice and helpful.
I attended their meeting this last Sunday- most interesting, and MUCH more fun than watching a silly football game! From the auction, I came away with 5 cory similis and two pandas for $30. And there were lots of plants (especially giant val, java moss, hornwart, and water sprite this time) that sold for $1-2! They also announced that in the coming months, there will be a speaker on planted tanks.
So you SoCalers might want to check it out! And bring good stuff to auction!

kei · 02-03-2004, 07:28 PM

interesting. . . kind a far though. .i'm near pasadena. i don't have any plants to offer as of yet. i want to see other people's tanks though!!!!!

Gomer · 02-03-2004, 09:06 PM

I'll try to be there...and I might even bring some stuff for auction

Got lots of stuff you won't fine at the LFS...just a matter of having extra.

I don't think there would any "display" tanks at all, but I could be wrong. Can someone clarify?
Wonder woman, was there any Apistogrammas, or dwarf cichlids at the auction? Anything exotic?
Gomer, I thought all your plants go through me first, before they go any where!? :lol:

wonder woman · 02-03-2004, 09:53 PM

There will not be any tanks there (except any that are sold at the auction). Usually slide shows or projected computer images.
Magnus-
I believe there were Apistogrammas (although I'm not that familiar with them, so I'm not sure). There were lots of cichlids (shell dwellers? chromis?), including bright yellow and blue ones. Again, I'm not that familiar with them. But there are several people who breed them at these meetings. Lots of interesting things. Plenty of cories, angels, plecos, plants, snails, cichlids, occasionally killis...
I think you'll find it worth your time. Last Sunday was Superbowl Sunday, and yet, there were still LOTS of goodies to buy. Can't wait for next month when everyone will be there.
I just love the fact that I can buy fish there that aren't readily available at the local stores, and not have to pay $$$ or have it SHIPPED and pay $30 for shipping.

litesky · 02-05-2004, 01:09 AM

This Sunday? I'll go. But...if u guys want to start another one, i'm fine with that. In any case, magnus all YOUR plants go through me before they go!

wonder woman · 02-05-2004, 06:58 PM
