I will be working at this event and I will also have a number of items in the auction. This is a pretty well run auction and there are plenty of fish, plants, equipment and related items that get offered and sold.

I know you'll be selling some fancy bn plecos! Also, plants & equipment? I hope it's well attended. Big club auctions can be lots of fun!

I used to love the "mega auctions" in MA. My general auction idea is to go early for best selection; stay late for bargains...but beware buying unknown fish, lol. I'd never kept killies or knew much about them, but I bought a pretty pair. I also bought 10 cherry shrimp that same auction (same seller I think). Then, big mistake, quarantined them together. They all seemed fine & I soon went off on vacation, another mistake) EEK! I came home to an almost dead female killie (& lost her soon after) & almost half the shrimp were MI. I had lots of plants & hiding places & a pet sitter. I learned a lot that time, lol. The shrimp went on to breed like crazy, I sold or traded many. The killie male live for many months but met his match with, of all things, cherry barbs! Who knew? I certainly didn't. A case of buyer beware!

Auctions are also a nice way to meet & talk to other hobbyists. I'm not too shy anymore; ok,.. not at all shy now (lol), but you can always strike a conversation. Do you know these fish/plants? How do you keep them? We all love to talk about our tanks & fish

I didn't (& still don't) have a smart phone that could have better informed me...but I may have done the same thing anyway...at that time...Lesson learned in a hard way.

But all in all, if you can go to TwoTank's, or any club auction, it'll be an interesting & fun experience. Try it, you'll like it!
