CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

Just in case anyones interested. That lives close enough to check it out. Feb 15th will be the Ohio Cichlid Association's winter auction.

I don't go to them all,since it's a fair drive but There is usually ALOT of good cichlid buys at their auctions 90% of the fish are from private breeders.Theres a few people who also bring direct imports. This auction is for cichlids,scavangers,plants and dry goods.

If you like africans this show has TONS! It doesn't always have the amount of S.A. and C.A. cichlids I'd like to see but you can find some rarer species there.

We usually get together a few people,so we can buy some of the bigger bags/actions without space or cash being an issue.
Last time we went some things we got were:
25 1.5" red empress - $22
2.8 breeding eureka red Aulonocara $72
pr of marble veil angel breeders $12
6" breeding pair of pigeon blood discus $45!
8 - 2" tangerine discus $95
20 - 1" Electric Blue Hap $25
10 - 1" nicaraguense $22
2.5 6" wild frontosa $215 (I think it was $215 or $225)
25 - assorted sized sponge filters $7
55 gallon tank with full hood and lights $30
75 gallon tank (bare) $56

and more,just don't rember exact prices on anything else off hand.

If anyone near me (n.w.ohio) or between the auction and me is going ,I'll be taking my truck and Possiably a trailer and may be able to move large stuff for people close to me or my route home from there.

Just a reminder the Ohio Cichlid Association winter auction is tommorow! It's about an hour and a half drive for people near me ,it's in Strongsville (west of cleveland) but there'll be tanks,supplies,and fish for ALOT less then store prices some even less then wholesale.

From the members I've talked to or emailed with.There will be tons of africans,I few large rarer new world cichlids,some LARGE tanks and some average sized tanks (30-55's) that are expected to go cheap, theres also ALOT of people bringing larger discus and angels,then theres the usual assortment of filters,heaters,lights,plants and etc.. and with a few people getting out of the hobby there it should be easy to find some great deals.

This isn't one of the small sales or meetings (I don't make it to those) It's one of their big quarterly that I unfortunetly miss most of the time and end up regreting once I hear what others bring back.
