In this video I buy some fish at an auction and show you what you can get with just $30AUD at one of these auctions! My local cichlid club in Brisbane, Australia, recently held another auction at Springwood State School. The deals you get at the auctions are always unbeatable! They went all the way to midnight again - it is always a great time had by all :)
Timestamps:
1:14 - At the auction! Springwood State School
1:59 - Eliza from Hand Picked Aquatics (Plants and Fish)
3:29 - Some nice Rainbowfish
3:50 - Matt from Duthie Aquatics - we got some free fish!
6:55- Finn from Atlas Aquariums - custom plants and mixed moss!!
8:17 - Jason from Australian Biotopes (Blackwater Botanics)
8:56 - Graham and Aquamunch Foods - some new foods good for fry
10:09 - Nigel from Aquarium Central!
11:06 - Graham's Sunshine Rams and Platinum Sky Blue Guppies
12:03 - I Bid on a Fish! (and got a very good deal)
13:19 - Malawi Barracuda
13:31 - Back home!

That was fun, Kaity! It's was good to see all of those familiar faces. Tell me something. Is it a long drive from the auction to home? I'm looking at going to one and it's a four hour drive back home. I'm wondering if the fish will tolerate that kind of drive. Anyway . . . thanks and have a wonderful weekend! ~Ron

@Kaityscichlids 3 ай бұрын

Thank you Ron!! It isn't too far, only about half an hour. I've personally never travelled that far with fish but I have a few friends who have so I know it's doable! I think you would just have to get it set up right with air pumps, and remove as much fish waste as possible/ideally make sure they haven't been fed recently, or have some type of bacteria colony in there with them

@garageaquatics2023 3 ай бұрын

@@Kaityscichlids Thank you, Kaity. I really appreciate your feedback. I'll get one of those little USB pumps for the power outlet in the car and maybe bring a bucket, some fresh water and some dechlorinator. Hopefully that'll do it. I'm not even sure what'll be available there. I've never been to one of these. This one is called SAKE 2024 in Phoenix, Arizona. It should be fun. Dean from Aquarium CO-OP will be one of the speakers. Enjoy your week ahead!
