ooooooooo it was !! gutted that its the last one of the season though. tbh, i didnt know they had them in seasons, but it was so much fun outbidding everyone for the corys. there were LOADS AND LOADS of bronze and albino aeneus, but i got plenty of them, so i didnt have all the corys for myself

Hi Sp00ky

Was this sponsored by your aquarium society? The one I go to has an auction at the end of every meeting. It's a lot of fun when you see people bidding against each other to get the fish you raised yourself.

That's a ton of fish to get at once! How do you acclimate almost 100 fish, and how many tanks to you have? I'm going to auction off the cories I'm going to raise at my local club meetings. The profits are split 50/50.
