Did everyone get what they wanted at the auction?

We won a some beautiful Julies, and sulfur head peacocks all of which should of sold for much more than we paid for them. My favourite fish from the night so far is Jen's male O.ventralis...stolen for 6$. I don't think enough other people knew what it was, or how much they cost! Here's what he can look like:

Right now he's a 'brown fish' but I'll pamper him and see what happens!

I sure didn't know what that fish was or I would have bid on it for sure...

Well, I managed to miss yet another auction. Second year in a row! That's okay, though. I end up spending no money this way (especially since I just spent it all on a new digital camera) and I get to live vicariously through the lot of ya and your wonderful finds and unreal steals. Glad to hear it all went so well!

Well this year I didnt buy any fish. I missed the pseudotropheus perspicax "orange cap" trio with one female holding.   I still dont know how that happened. However I did get the FX5 and Matt was kind enough to locate the hoses for me. He also dug up all the missing parts at a cost of $50, with OVAS discount. So not a bad deal at $210. The 2 power bars were an awesome deal as well. Long day but a fun one for sure. Just remember Zippity/girl, I let you win those rocks !
