British Livebearer Association Auction 2008

I got Pink endlers (picks to come) and Moscow black and Panda guppies for a friend
Very nice!
Back in the early eightys a fish called a Black Prince took the market by storm and did well at all the local shows.
Are there any about (Characodon audax) these days and If so what price do they command.
Regards
BigC
 
I bought 2 pairs of red lace snakeskin endlers. My first livebearers! I also bought 2 pairs of leopard guppies. Beautiful little fish. Need to sort out a permanent home for them but they're in the mini tank that I also bought at the show.

Lovely show, fast paced auctioning and a bit of a buzz when you win your lot :) Thanks for the warm welcome Alan!
 
I've uploaded all 300 Pix i took there today but too knackered to post them.
will pst some tommorow after work as photobucket is blocked @ work.

HS - What happened to all the unsold lots - were they sold at marked down prices.

I bought Clown Killies and More Gold Clouds on the way home.

BigC yes Characodon audax are still around, we had some F1's today selling at around £10 a pair, Characodon lateralis get better prices though £12 or so is good.

DevUK Your welcome m8 good to meet you and put a face to the name.

Gill, unsold fish was sold off at the end for £2 or so and all sold.

Also I'm now a commettee member of the BLA :D

Cool Your on the Committee - Soz forgot about Voting,

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo there were fish i would have bought if i had knowm thery were going to be 2quid a bag of fish. but i had to leave to get to MA to buy my Clown Killies.

Next time i'll stay to the very end and have more money with me.

I'm So Glad you got your pink endlers HS, they are gorgeous. Sadly ne of the male Venuezaelens died but all teh rest are doing fine.
 
Still thinking sadly of some of the fish I couldn't buy... The most handsome specimen I saw was a male xiphophorus birchmanni... oooo...eerrrr... what a man! :wub: Dwarfgourami sticks two fingers into her mouth and wolf whistles.

But I don't think my Indian gourami would have thanked me if I'd brought him home, as they can be rather aggressive.

And the Venezuelan guppies were nice, too, maybe I should have got some of them. And Gary's golden endlers.
