I haven't had time to start the hunting and gathering, but I already know that I'll be bringing this:
- several varieties of plants
- Aphyosemion hera killies
- parthenogenic marble crayfish (adult and babies)
- assorted books (I'll list 'em later)

I'm looking for a _coarse mesh_ net breeder that I can use to breed some Danio tinwini.

[kribkid17]

It depends on what I end up doing With my tank, but I think it is a rough draft of what I'm putting up
pair of cons
8 1 inch pelvachromis pulcher(krib)
1-2 breeding pair(s) of African butterfly cichlids
lots of gambusia
and some random plants from my pond

[snakeskinner]

I need to read up on the auction rules before I come over (I'm planning to come unless my paycheck doesn't allow it).

I have several hardgoods I need to sell like some little tanks and stuff.
I have several types of fish I need to thin out but it'll all depend on how much time I can spend before we leave. Here's some possibilities. Let me know if there's anything you want me to try and bring and I'll put that near the top of my list to be brought.

Ptyochromis sp. 'hippo point' "salmon" males
Astatotilapia aeneocolor juvies
Cherry shrimp
Jenyensia lineata
Skiffia multipunctata 'la luz'
Poecilia orri 'roatan island'
Limia perugiae
Girardinus metallicus
Lots of bristlenose (albino, brown and some that throw both)
a couple exotic pleco's
Corydoras wietzmani
Corydoras habrosus
Neolamprologus multifasciatus 'mbita'
Benitochromis nigrodorsalis
Aulonocara sp. Walteri 'likoma island'

I also have some plants I might thin out like crypts, anubias and najas guadalupensis.....

Kyle

[mewickham]

Cherry shrimp
Jenyensia lineata
Corydoras habrosus
Najas guadalupensis

Those look interesting to me and it seems like at least one other person was looking for cherry shrimp. I've got a tank where I could probably put up to 50 cherry shrimp. So don't be afraid to bring many.

[sskruzr]

Bring the Corydoras wietzmani definitely

[snakeskinner]

you can bet I'll bring cherry shrimp, and cherry shrimp and probably some more cherry shrimp. They have become like duckweed in my fishroom. I think I had about 8 different tanks with huge colonies.. I was doing a lot of tank shuffling yesterday and this morning and I fed quite a few to larger fish just because I had so many. Kyle

[doodlebug]

OHHH! Please bring the cory habrosus! I'm going to do my best to be there! Any chance you would ship some to me just in case?

[snakeskinner]

I just have a small group. I'm not even sure how many are there because there is thick najas in there. That is one of my tanks I'm planning to tear down in the next few days so I'll try and post an accurate count when I do.

[doodlebug]

Thank you, I really would like to have some of them. I so hope I can make it to the auction. It sounds like there is going to be a lot of goodies.

[snakeskinner]

As I said before, I've been clearing out a lot of stuff so that I could move around a lot of fish. Last night, I walked in and checked on all the fish and noticed a ton of little "bubbles" around one of the 10 gallons I setup to house my wife's Corydoras pygmaeus. The more I looked, the more I saw. At first, I wasn't sure what I was looking at because I've never actually seen the pygmaeus eggs although they have had babies in a couple planted tanks before. These look nothing like the larger corydoras I've spawned before and they are absolutely EVERYWHERE.. I had a large school of pygmaeus in there (with some VERY fat females), cherry shrimp and some baby guppies we were given. Well, I quickly realized what they were and yanked the guppies to another tank. I can't count how many eggs there are but there are several hundred for sure. They're on all 4 sides of the glass, bottom of the tank, a couple spawning mops, sponge filter, hornwort, everywhere.. Soooooo, depending on how large they are by then, I "might" have some pygmaeus fry. not sure how fast they grow... Kyle

What are the "Giant Shelldweller"?

[etheonut]

Probably: Telmatochromis temporalis

maybe not that species, but definitely in that genus.

Kevin

[snakeskinner]

I was really looking forward to this auction but there has been a death in the family that will be keeping me from attending. sorry for those hoping to bid on any of my fish, hope to make another one or at least a meeting over there soon. Kyle

[kribkid17]

Some additional things:
45 gallon tank with heater, light, and filter(min bid 45$)
really nice piece of driftwood

[etheonut]

I have fish to bring, but no bags. Any suggestions? I will be sending fish with Kenna. I have several coolers I could send fish in if someone wants to bring bags and bag fish Saturday morning.

Kevin

[sskruzr]

Send them along. We'll take care of them

[etheonut]

I have changed my mind and won't be sending fish to the auction.

It is simply too much hassle to get fish there this time.
