Title: Giant Auction: what are you looking for ?
Post by: zenins on March 03, 2013, 06:14:34 PM
Here is a thread to mention fish or any items you will be looking for in the Giant Auction on Sunday March 24th.

This might encourage a hesitant seller to put that item into the auction ;)

We could separate it by looking for and selling +(price).

So looking for super red sword tails and maybe some L46`s.

My Crayfish passed away last night, so Ill be looking for a new one, hopefully coloured, also my Banana Shrimp died, not sure what the deal is there, cause the rest of the tank seems happy...
So looking for plain old Neons, Red Cherry Shrimp, Crayfish, Assassin snails to help contain my MTS problem.

Could use some info on slow growing ground cover plants...

What kind of crayfish ?

I could bring some very young Marbled Crayfish for the auction.
They are just over a centimetre at the moment, but grow to 10cm ( 4 inches )
These crayfish reproduce by parthenogenesis ... very cool !
