I Absolutely HATE Missing OVAS Meetings!

I really enjoyed the meeting last night as it seemed none of the bids for the auction were challenged.  

I ended up picking up a bag of 3 lithobates and peacocks for $1 each.  Can't go wrong with that.

I also picked up a bag of tiny "shrimp" that is suppose to help clean the water.  However I don't think they lasted too long in my aquarium by the look of things.

Wanna take bets on how long the lithobates will last in the "Survival of the Fittest"  ?

actually i have now 4 tanks running.  i put it in my tank with the victorian nubila, my buescheri and my pseudotropheus flaveus.  

i know they would have no chance in my 125 gallon aquarium.  i tried putting a wal-mart firemouth last week in that aquarium and i found half of his body floating a few days later.  and the firemouth was relatively big.

The lithobates should be fine but the Yellow Jake are a bit small. I would also suggest that you move the jake or the buescheri since their females look the same and your dominant male would breed with any of them. Mind you , you still have a couple of months before they get to the same size as your buescheri.

BTW my 9 fish sold for $4 a LPS value of $72 (3%). I got $3.60 minus $2.10 of bag so I came home with $1.50...to justify the .5 hour for catching them,  just enough to pay the daily fish food. :cry:

My yellow jake are in my 3 tank with the "lab zeb/cypra afro yellow top" that I got from Tim as I knew they wouldn't survive in my second tank.

What is fast becoming one of my favourite pastimes is watching the auctioneers find new homes for the Texas Cichlids that keep showing up. With that said I'm not sure if it is a different fish each time or the same guy making the rounds from owner to owner. It does create a lot of excitement the way they are always showing up in large opaque buckets. I always feel compelled to rush up to take a look (I did not do that on Monday though)

Then don't miss the Sept. mini-auction... He'll be back.

And possibly a bit ehavier from Jen's goldfish. :-)
