I've been wanting to make it over to one of your auctions and my wife and I were wanting to come over to Eureka Springs this spring so looks like maybe I can coordinate that and make both happen As long as the weather holds and my checkbook doesn't take a nasty hit for some reason, we should be able to make it. I would like to bring some stuff over to the auction, here's a list of what I have available and might bring. Please let me know if there is anything on this list that is not allowed in Arkansas (I don't think there is) or anything you are really interested in so I can make that a priority on my bagging list (I may get tired of bagging fish and not grab everything)

Haplochromis sp. "Ruby Green" males only
Steatocranus tinanti juveniles (a little over an inch right now)
Neolamprologus multifasciatus 'mbita' (ongoing colony, usually catch inch long juvies to sell)
Ameca splendens (small colony with extras)
Thysochromis ansorgii mated pair (spawned once but I'm not having luck anymore)
Benitochromis nigrodorsalis mated pair (several broods from them)
Common clown pleco's (about 6 last I checked)
Ancistrus sp. "Brown bristlenose" quite a few juvies, one adult male found one albino male left
Hemichromis sp. (cf. lifalili ?) I got the pair from Mike Wickham and they spawned, not exactly sure on species yet but they are smaller, less aggressive than gutattus
Astatotilapia latifasciata pair that spawn repeatedly, female holding right now
Astatotiapia latifasciata young juvies, lots of them around 3/4"
Assassin snails (allowed in Arkansas?)
Cherry shrimp
Skiffia multipunctata 'la luz'
Limia perugiae sold

I'd love to get rid of most or all of these fish over the next few months. Your auction just happens to be first on the schedule. Again, I won't likely bring ALL of these on the list but at least some so speak up if you want a chance on any of it... Kyle

As of now I'm planning on bringing a Koi fish and some random goldfish.

I may be bringing some Peacocks (juvies or adults?), small Koi, Jack Dempseys, maybe some small albino plecos. Denny

Anyone bringing any mbunas

I've been looking for some johanni females, but no luck so far. I'll probably be bringing some Peacocks, though. Denny

I will be bringing a few mbunas.

Young Rusty males
Large red zebras
Venestus
Metriclima greberi male
1 male peacock
and a few other various

I was just over to Perennials & Etc. today. In talking to them, they mentioned they'd make a donation for our auction. I'll pick it up just before the auction. Denny

I am tentatively planning to work the auction, but if I do I will probably be needing a bit of help at the table. I am having surgery a week before the auction, so no lifting. Hopefully I will be up to it and can convince the girls to come help. I love working the table. I get to see all the pretties but am too busy to buy everything.

More specifially Im looking for rusty females and demasoni.

2 weeks and counting. I stopped and paid for the room today.

If you're looking to add to the variety of foods to feed your fish, and don't wanna spend a bunch of money, you'd better not miss this auction. We have quite a variety of foods donated from different manufacturers.
We will also have 2, count them 2, 8w U.V. sterilizers.

Oooohhhh.... Do we have more of those crispy thingies my fish love so much?? (Doing my best to sound like I don't know what I'm talking about!)

I just finished bagging and tagging the club's 66 donated items for auction. See you all next Saturday.

one week! I can't wait.... I took off next Friday to bag up my fish and get everything packed up. If I'm ready early, I might opt to drive up at least partway Friday night but we'll see. Kyle

Definitely going to try and make it!

Now that we're back from our spring trip, I need to start thinking about what I need to take to the auction. Denny

I was going to take the day off from work to come to the auction, but I think I will work instead.

Kevin

But that means I won't get to see you and you live soooooooo far away!

I am sorry my friend, but the good news is I will be earning money to spend on gas so that maybe we can meet in the middle some place.

Kevin

Does anyone else have any idea of what they may be bringing?

I'm adding at least 3 different types of peacock males.
Large Pseudotropheus gresheki male (ice blue)
Adult female Rusty cichlid
Brand new in box glass top for a 5o/65 gallon tank (2 piece)
couple of Pleco's
and the list is still growing.

I'd love to see someone bring:
Aulonacara maleri females
Fossorochromis rostratus

I'll be bringing various plants and a male kribensis for sure. Maybe a large clown loach. I think I have a few books and other various dry goods, but I won't have time to figure that out until later

Anyone know any of the TV personalities/reporters for the local TV stations? I'm thinking it would be nice to get some coverage of our auction this Saturday, but I can't find a really easy way to contact anyone about that. Denny

Cool idea! I have no idea who to contact, though.

WHEW-HEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got the big room again!

What flavor pop and kind of snacks do you wanna see at the auction?

It would be nice to have some diet varieties. Denny

Dr. pepper is my beverage of choice.... Kyle

Metriaclima callainos (adult)
Maylandia greshakei albino (juvenile)
Labeotropheus fuelleborni (adult)

Also going to bring a male OB peacock hybrid and a Gyrinocheilus (adult)... Will probably be bringing a 30 gal tank/metal stand and some other aquarium related items as well.
