Hello Bill; There are a few questions that have been asked about the classes in the show but as of yet no one is answering the questions, they are under comments on the main convention page. I wish to show fish at the convention but until I get answers i won't be showing. I don't know if you can assist with this or not but maybe you could steer the questions to the right person. Thanks is advance.

I have already booked my room and paid my convention registration fee for the weekend :)

I have also posted some questions regarding the show on the DRAS forum ...

Looking forward to meeting people all weekend,
including at the Sunday auction which is open to everyone,
not just those registered for the convention ;)

Definitely know to show up a bit earlier next year, so I have time to scope out the tables before the auction starts !

And bring stuff to occupy my boys.

Umm - and brush up on scientific names for fish so I have a half clue of what is up for sale !

But an enjoyable day for sure :D Great work to the organizers !

Awesome auction. Stayed from 10 to 2:30. It was a really fun experience.

Got a big bag of Java Moss for $3 n two 100 g bags of NORTH FIN for $8.

I think that is a great deal. Next time I m getting some killi fish.

P Dasousa or some ones name like that had two pair of those amazing Blue Gularis. Wish I was paying attention to bid on them. Not even sure what they went for.

Does anyone know what price they were??

Did some reading on them and they seems like amazing fish to have.
