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!!!)

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.

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.

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
