I dare not go to another auction so soon........
My fish are still settling down for all the newcomers from last sunday's auction.....

Seriously, this auction is for smaller killifish and the like is it not?

Re: TAKO Show and Auction

Anybody know if there will be some clown killies? I have a gravid female that is the only survivor of my group I had and the only ones I have found locally were at FishGallery and they were in about the same shape as the dead ones  I threw away.

Re: TAKO Show and Auction

Look under Events on Fishbox for a posting.  Just click on the Tako announcement and it will give you more info.  There is also a link from the Calendar on the HAS site.

The show saturday is just killifish and there will be fish there you never see in the lfs's.  A lot of the fish in the show will be in the auction sunday along with hardgoods, etc.  The auction is open to everyone and there will be other fish there besides killis.

Re: TAKO Show and Auction

Still not sure if I can make the show, but I'll be right nextdoor on Sunday, so I should be at the auction, at least to just look around!

Re: TAKO Show and Auction

If all goes well I may be there in the morning for the auction. I will not be able to stay long as I have other commitments in the afternoon.

Went to the Pizza Party last night.  They've pretty well setup the show fish.  There will be speakers today as well.  Check out the TAKO event listing for more info.

Re: TAKO Show and Auction

Well, I came home with more than I had planned, but isn't that the story with every auction? I did get a couple species that I have been wanting for years, however. So it was worth it!

Had a fun time, met some great people...Thanks TAKO!

Re: TAKO Show and Auction

What did you get Mzungu???

I totally forgot about it till just now  My poor female clown killie is so lonely.

Re: TAKO Show and Auction

Oh, and they had a couple groups, too! I think FishySue got a few (annulatus), maybe you can get more in a couple months from her.  :)

Of course, I go to a Killifish auction and come out with Native pygmy sunfish.    I got 2 pairs of Elassoma okefenokee and 1 pair of Elassoma evergladei. Also 2 pairs of Leptolucania ommata, which were sentimental to me - the guy who caught them was sitting right behind me. The auction sheet said they were from Tallahassee, FL, where I went to school. Turns out I knew the intersection where they were found! So I had to get them...at least I got 1 kind of killie!

Also got a bottle of freeze-dried blood worms in my Door Prize bag.

Re: TAKO Show and Auction

Sorry,  didn't get any annulatus.  I was definitely outbid on those.  Did come home with quite a lot of fish flakes, an Eclipse six and about 3 pairs of killies.  I wanted the Fundulus rubrifons and got them.  Those were also from Ken Normandin.  Very nice show and auction.  Had a bottle of freeze-dried blood worms in my door prize, too.
