Sounds like lots of fun! Im going to be in town on Sunday...Im coming by for the auction. Will there be any fish sold at the auction besides Killfish? Also is there a address for the Thornwood clubhouse? Thanks

[jughead]

its darn near all killies.for those who havent been and have thought about getting some killies,worth the trip.

[Cichlidfarm]

Well im going... Cant wait.

[Nickintex]

They sometimes have other species. There have been angelfish, goodieds, natives, and livebearers in the past. Also food, filters, supplies etc.
Unfortunately, I have to work Sunday, so I will not be able to make this. :(

[Mzungu]

I would go, but I can't get any more fish right now, lol. But seriously, if you're interested in killies at ALL, don't miss this. :) The best selection of killies you'll find all year.

[danielp]

This sounds like a really cool auction and I can't it out there.

I am interested in possibly obtaining some Killies for a project I'm developing.

Who locally has some for sell?

Thanks
