HAAAAAA! :p This is a combo post, from both Sorrell and myself. She's sitting here and half the pictures we're posting are hers, and half are mine. So bear with us!! There are tons coming, probably a good 800 or so... so be patient too. :lol:


Here we are with are PRIZE WINNING FIRST PLACE fishies!!! I'm in the striped shirt that freaking attracted yellow jackets every time we stepped outside... but that's another story. :crazy: :-( Wahookie my new (from Steph!!) :wub: masked plakat is next to me between us, and her little orangie from Kelly - "Austin" :wub: - is on the right. They were next to each other. :nod:

These were "Betta Mansions". The girl who made them was buying fish at the show, but these bowls were full of a bunch of veiltails in random colors... guess what she said?? They were wild caught! :rofl: Yeaaaaahh... wild veils. Funny. :rolleyes: We didn't like her a whole lot, she stole our fish. :grr: But Stephani got her back, and stole one of hers. :hyper: HAHAAAAAA!

OooOOoo the good fishies!! :blink: These were up for raffle, and we wanted pretty much all of them. I did end up getting one pair of red HMs who are gorgeous... I had only one ticket in there!!! :flex: Then Steph got the pair she was DYING for... Jim Sonnier black and reds... Wowie. :drool: Pics of the male coming later! Jen got an opaque pair also. So we were all lucky in the raffle! :nod:

Onto the actual fish we bought. :wub: This is my favorite fishie, that I paid a pretty penny for. :*) At least, for me! I'm cheap!! :p He's a Jim Sonnier black plakat, and won his class. So I'm very proud of him, he's beautiful. :wub:

:*) :*) :*) This is Sorrell now, cuz her fishies are starting! After the show on Saturday, we went to a fish store with Jenn, and I couldn't help myself. I got this red and black crown and this crazy funky veiltail. :*) :*) :*) Apparently I wasn't being supervised by reliable sources!!



(Julie resents that.)
