Do we know if, "The shrimpUSA guy" will be there? His shrimp were pretty incredible.

The vendor list should come out a couple weeks prior to the swap.

Agreed... they just announced it about a week ago so give it some time. I will watch for when they release the vendor list/room layout to the public and will post the link to them here

That would be awesome if Finnex is there.

shinycard255 · 02-08-2013, 08:56 PM

Very doubtful that they will be there, but you never know. They are local, aren't they?

bradlgt21 · 02-08-2013, 09:18 PM

There website doesnt' say but a quick google map search said Countryside, IL. It looked to be a legit match too, so your right they are local. They should go to this, it would be a big oppertunity for them. These swaps get packed and I have noticed the past year or two plants are getting more and more popular there, at first you never found live plants now there are at least 3-4 vendors with large plant spreads. With plants you need good lights. Not to mention low power LED's are perfect for African tanks and such.

At one of the Swaps, I thought I saw Schuber Wright there selling some of their tanks and lights, so it is a good possibility

Razorworm · 02-09-2013, 09:24 PM

I sent Lowe a pm asking if he would be at the swap...Never heard from him
