Don't miss out, there are always plenty of unexpected catfish available at unbelievable bargain prices.

As a recent visitor to the last CAS auction, i can highly recommend attending. Bargains galore, cats & other fish, dry goods, good company, cheap beer, in fact the only downside is the location, (in respect of where i live!!!)

Thanks Richard.

You'll have to move to Cas ;o)

Quick update, I've got some 18 month old Hypancistrus L136b I'll be offering at the auction and some 3" Agamyxis pectinifrons. All with relatively low reserves (e.g. LDA01 at £5 each compared to my local MA which has adults at £60 a pop!)

Hope to see some of you there.

Cheers,
Mark.

Any ideas on how many of each cory sp & parotocinclus there will be? ie a couple of people have asked if i make it can i get a group of six of these & four of the other....

Hi Richard,
Only 4 Cory sp. black (4 month old), around a dozen or more green lazers (3-4 month old)and up to 20 P. jumbo (adult fish).

The first two Cory species are desireable so will have realistic reserves (approx £3-4 per fish), P. jumbos will start around £3.

Cheers,
Mark.

how often is there a auction on cause i have some albino and peppered corys ready soon

We have them at set points each year. The next one is the 20 April.

Ugh i'm tired....but happy......got to bed at just gone 2am this morning.

Beware auction fever...it creeps up on you....it toys with you....then strikes!!!

I didn't really have a goal to get anything but kept an open mind & to cut a long story short cam back with a single Ancistrus sp 4 (L144), half a dozen Parotocinclus Jumbo, a trio of corydoras reynoldsi & 14 common hoplos (M Thoracata) as well as some pH adjuster, live food and water lettuce.

We had a great night as usual

Richard B, the hoplos you got was ours and they are F2, we have a wild breeding group and kept back some of their young to grow up to breed and the ones you got are the first spawning from the F1's

We got the Blue Acaras and two paired off and now i have fry

Sorry we cant make the April one, Andy can not get any time off work
