Exceedingly good! Mark & Kamphol both presented some brilliant stuff. I believe Jools has some pics to update cat-e-log.

In short, Jools, Mats & i met up at BAS for a look at what they had (Glyptothorax, Mystus, Leiocassis, Corys were the pick of the bunch[probably]). Then off to Pier - awesome, Neil has some amazing fish & really good value - a visit to him should be compulsory for catfish keepers. We met up with TP & The Dark One. Too many species to namecheck really. Then off to AquaLife - it looks disappointing from the outside but what a hidden gem this is :D. A really good range of cats, L nos, Corys, & other stuff but good non-cats too - i'll certainly be back there whenever i'm up that way. Then off to MA Wigan - ok - but after what we had encountered previously it was never going to enthrall us with the selection. Then off to the venue, check in, & meet Kim M & a few others. Mark Walters (Corywally)had some fabulous
Scleromystax sp(cw038)
on show on the Sat morning (think that was the right one). Loads of presentations, eating & drinking, talking all the way through to about 17:45 on Sunday when i headed home - far too much to go into detail about in this post though. Also Pier got in some very interesting Argentinian "coldwater" stuff - watch this space!

It was a fantastic event. I put faces on some people (Richard B and MatsP) and got so many nice fish that the polybox in my suitcase couldn't hold them :D

I liked Hans' talk mostly, but I'm an incurable Cory-nut...
Best regards,

Hans' talk did indeed have some fantastic Corys - plus he has very witty interaction with the audience - i look forward to hearing his next one :D

Not that I'm aware of, but other convention delegates may know more.

The poster is part of a project being done at Bangor University by Dr Martin Taylor and Markos Alexandrou, they are DNA sequencing the whole group. The poster shows the various clades and where each species fit within the group, it makes very interesting reading, but it will not be available until the completed work is published.
