Took a pic towards the ending.. Grabbed some nice buccochromis spectabilis and fish from davesrarefish! Can't wait for tomorrow.. I wouldn't call it silent auction though..some people left towards the end, but it was a nice auction with a couple fishes going for over $100..

The auction was awesome! I ended up walking out with 7 juvie amphilophus amarillo (some are under an inch!), 4 wild caught amphilophus labiatus (2 for sale at my table today!, I only wanted 2 but I could only find bags of 4), 1 wild caught bahia oscar (huge!), and 5 little banjo cats (growing out in a 10 before they meet my big male banjo).

if you had registered for mygroupauctions, there is a list there, as well as a list of what can be seen for mini auctions after every CCA meeting..i think its still there..it usually closes after the event..but in some cases, isnt updated that quick.. there was an awesome star sapphire pair that went for $80 if i remember correctly..very awesome auction.. can't wait for the marketplace today, and for the PVAS spring tag sale..not much africans the last time, but auctions are always fun and interesting what you can get..hope you can join one sometime..after CCA meetings are always best..if you still didn't know, we have them every 2 Saturday of every month except if not scheduled, and there is always a mini auction after..

Only about 80 lots in last night's Rare Fish Auction...but all really good - and unusual stuff. All donations. So grateful for the generosity!

Thanks to Mike O'Shea, Jim, Christine, Andrew Schwartz, Jon, Tony and everyone who made the auction run like a clock...even with a new credit card process. I heard not a complaint.

Thanks to Kurt Johnston who did a masterful job of auctioneering. Thanks to Rusty, Pam, Anton and Shane for sharing insight on fish that no one else had heard about. It helps get the bids higher :)

And thanks to the BABES who have been raising money and inspiring people to care about cichlid conservation for 20 years! A nice donation check is coming their way on behalf of the CCA and AquaMania...
