Thats a cracking bargain. I hope you got a nice large quarentine tank to put them in before adding to mature tanks

 

[WILDER]

Hope you have a very large tank then, lol.

God, I didn't even know there were fish auctions! How do you find out about them?
Congrats on buying a nice selection of fish!

DE and wilder, i currently have 14 tanks up and running in my house. i also have a further 43 in my garden for the fish house i am constructing and i also run addtional filters in many of my tanks and if needs be, i can set another tank up and running in about 15 mins. i am also fully aware of quarantining new fish as should all members of the forum be.

stang, get in touch with your local aquatic socitey... they will let you know where and when they are.

Nice haul! I love fish auctions, they are one of the most enjoyable part of aquatics for me. If you go to them on a regular basis you run into the same people. It's fun to get together a few times a year to talk shop with folks who understand the hobby.

i'll be going to many more from now on i can assure you of that !! the guy did say though that that was the last one of "the season" which seems strange to me cause to me, this is trops season now. LFS's cut down on the pond fish they get in at this time of year over here. its strange... still, i reckon there will be some on somewhere that i can pillage LOL

They do run seasonally here as well. From sometime in August until late September is the first run. The don't have any until January due to the holidays, they then run until sometime in May. You don't find any during the summer.
