Got a little crazy

Yesterday I went to the Atlanta Area Aquarium Association Fall Auction (that's a lot of A's), and I went a little crazy, but there were some outright steals that I couldn't pass up. Until last night I didn't even have any tanks set up(not counting the 55g rubbermaid tub holding my fish since the move) and I still came home with 5 or 6 bags of fish.

The fish I brought home are all juvies, so I couldn't just dump them into the rubbermade...hence I just *had* to purchase a few tanks while at the auction, all below the $1/gallon benchmark.

I'm excited about all the fish. If I had to pick two highlights, they would be the 2 pairs of Apistogramma cacatuoides 'Triple Red' and the 2 pairs of Dario rubra. The Dario rubra are a real highlight because they have just been imported into the hobby. I also picked up 4 F0 Parotocinclus eppelyi, 2 Scarlet Badis, and 5 or 6 Apistogramma borelli 'Opal'.

Once they've had a chance to eat, grow, and display their colors I'll post pictures.
