Yes vendors have purchased over 45 tanks of fish for sale. -

In addition Mike Schadle will have every type of cichlid book you can imagine -

We will also have dry goods to be raffled off -

A Pig and a Chicken are walking down the road. The Chicken says, "Pig, I was thinking we should open a restaurant!". Pig replies, "What would we call it?". The Chicken responds, "How about ham-n-eggs?" The Pig thinks for a moment and says, No thanks. I'd be committed, but you'd only be involved.

He sounds great, and maybe a candidate for the rare fish auction that Jason was talking about. In fact he may be willing to provide photos of parents and describe them aka our last one


Agreed!
Negative Karma for rule enforcement is a badge of honor :)

From Dan Sharifi

Dan - Cichlid of the Americas

I own www.CichlidsoftheAmericas.com . I have kept south and Central American cichlids exclusively since 1986. I am currently working with some 75-80 species in my facility, which is about 5000 square feet. Over the years, I've been on collecting trips and know a little about the process, but would like to talk specifically about my cichlid husbandry process, what to look for, breeding tips on harder to keep species, feeding and conditioning, as well as shipping tips if anyone is interested. Also my first and only club I ever have been a part of was gcca, so it would be real cool to share what I have learned over the years with where it all started for me. Also can talk quite a bit about the Florida fish farming process, which I think would be interesting as so many fish come from this area.

Coheed,
I hope you can join us at our classic -

Well the Sunday auction is free and open to everyone there are normally hundreds of bags and a lot of people. What fish we get in is always randomized as it is the community that brings the fish. But there is usually a little bit of everything.

The club is working on potentially having a rare fish auction for attendees of the Classic event. This would only be available to attendees of the classic.

This is not yet finalized and what type of fish, will be up in the air till probably the week of the classic.

If the clubs orders from a wholesaler their lists change weekly and what they have in will change by the time the order is shipped.

Not sure if that helps but it is the best information I have.
