No surprises that we saw some great fishes...

Some details were posted in advance in a different thread so there may be some duplication but a small selection of those seen are...

BAS

Olyra longicaudata

Batasio fasciolatus

Glyptothorax cavia

Synodontis greshoffi

Leiocassis micropogon

Aqualife

Corydoras weitzmani

Corydoras oiapoquensis

Corydoras narcissus

Liosomadoras oncinus

small & beautifully marked

Pier

Tetranematichthys

Bagroides melapterus

Caelatoglanis zonatus

Platynematichthys notatus

Corydoras orcesi

Liosomadoras oncinus

large & fantastic price

Acanthodoras

cataphractus/spinosissimus?

And in addition, as i can't remember what was at what store, we also saw...

Akysis

a few species

Mystus

a few species

Hyalobagrus

Aspidoras

a couple of species
all 3 'named'

Brochis

More Cory's & Plecos that you could shake a stick at & stuff was still arriving at stores whilst we were there & within the next week.

So many species, so little tank space......

I can't think of any fish that could possibly match the purple shirt you wore on Saturday night.

Neither can I.

I came home with some planned and unplanned fish:
Planned form Pier:

Leporacanthicus triactis

(aka L091) x 5 (2M, 3F)
Unplanned from Pier:

Brochis splendens

x 6 (£4.50 each!)
This is to replace the three Brochis I've lost over about 5 years since I first bought them - and three more, because they really do best in a bigger group...

Unplanned from Aqualife:

Corydoras weitzmani

x 8 (nearly mature, £5.99 each!)

Peckoltia sp(L147)

x 5 - small but decent price at £9.99 each. Hopefully I'll have a male and female. Nice orange-red colour.
(Thanks for the delivery service from Aqualife - it's great to be able to pick out fishes on Friday, and not have to worry about keeping them at the hotel over the weekend).

Thank God then, that i didn't wear a really outrageous one!

You all obviously arrived home OK.

Ian and I stayed over until this morning, along with about 18 others

We called in at Aqualife and Pier , we were going to go on to BAS after Pier; but ran out of time

Got to say though, I really did enjoy myself; both as CSG Sec; and as myself.
Great talks, great conversations, beer was good, and the company was excellent,

Great event (Well done Ian et al), great people etc etc - looking forward to 2011!

However, there is a significant downside. Being a Midlander, & as the event was at the seaside ,i was looking forward to seeing the sea...................

If you would have come down with me at 6am on Sunday morning for a swim, the tide was in...
