Had a great time while I was able to be there. I did manage to get ahold of a group of VERY rare rainbows, and met the breeder to get more!!! was a very good day.

I was really hoping to make it this year but it just starts so dang early.

Working nights sucks.

There was some pretty good stuff. Tons of rainbows at least compared to last year.

Hopefully you can make the fall auction.

Working every weekend stinks sometimes because a lot of the good stuff happens on the weekends

Are there much in the way of good African Cichlid breeders in Colorado?

My cousin is planning an African Cichlid tank and I am curious what type of stock might be available locally.

Have you noticed much focus on African Cichlids at any of these auctions?

du3ce · 03-17-2013, 07:55 PM

Have you checked golden fish?

BruceF · 03-17-2013, 08:14 PM

Just send him to any of the Cichlid club meetings. These people have an unbelievable number of fish. The national convention is going to be here in July.

Thanks Bruce, I was just about to post the same thing. Did you or Zimbo get the crypt. you guys were going to split? I wish I could have stayed longer.

BruceF · 03-19-2013, 04:38 PM

Yes we got all the plants we wanted. I'm still trying to figure out where to put them.

My guess would be in water

DenverTankCollector · 03-20-2013, 03:32 PM

Now is the time to buy more tanks. If you don't have room for all the plants then you are "tank challenged". More tanks! That is the answer to all questions.

BruceF · 03-20-2013, 03:45 PM

Do you put the water in the tank?
