In person March 14, 2026 - CCA Group Auction @ John F. Kennedy High School: 1901 Randolph Rd, Wheaton-Glenmont, MD 20902

March 14, 2026 CCA In-person Auction

We have created an auction for the March 14, 2026 in-person CCA meeting. Users of the website must register on the CCA MyGroupAuction website: mygroupauctions.com. Sellers are encouraged to upload a photo of the fish/item to be auctioned. These items can be viewed by all registered users before the auction.

CCA's board of directors has voted to allow the use of the minimum bid space on the MY GROUP AUCTIONS (MGA) website. Specifically the BOD approved the use of the minimum bid in the following manner: Bidding for any item with a minimum bid on its label will start at that amount and proceed as normal for any auction. If the minimum bid is not met, the owner of the item will take the item back into his possession. If the owner is not present to take back his item that did not sell, the minimum bid indicated on the label will not be in effect and so there will be no minimum bid on the item.

Please try to bring something for the auction. If you can make it a donation, so much the better. It's our club. If we want to keep it healthy, we all need to play a role.

If you have any questions, please ask.

Getting rid of

I am discarding an accidental breeding project lol. They are Red Fin Borelyi x OB crosses. They are in the 2-3” range and i’m trying to get rid of them. They are $5 a peice, OBO.IMG_9551.png

Medo pump repair/maintenance

I’ve got a Medo LA-45B. I’ve had it for years and it runs when I plug it in, but in a few minutes it starts rattling and not pumping. I’ve never repaired but I assume it’s a bladder or piston assembly. Trying to narrow it down. Anyone with experience would be helpful. Thanks!
