I have 100 fish tanks, but two pairs of shoes. The latter is proof that I am still relatively sane. The question is...relative to what?

There were a lot of really cool fish there. The auctions have been getting better lately at CAFE and Green water. More variety and more people which is really great for our hobby. I had to control myself and I looked at all of the neat stuff but slapped my hand before it got into my pocket. I was in the back corner and just hard bid the calico plecs and the one pair of albino LF's because..Hey, I love them. ;D I had to scoot early and go see the girl at school for brunch. I got to go to an auction and visit the girl on the same day and so the Mrs. was happy too. Had to go to Mary Ann's for brunch. I go there every time I'm in Champaign. Chicken Fried steak with white gravy. Gotta have it. Good thing it is so far away.

I seen you then. You kept your hand up the whole time the calico's was bidding. lol
Got some nice nana anubias plants also. lots of nice plants, but it seemed everyone was there for them

Hey! I know good when I sees it. the gentleman with the plecos has really nice stuff. I was going to go to see the girl and then I over heard him telling the guys he had the calicos and zoooot, I hit the old brakes and went searching. OOOPs I found them and oooops again they were gorgeous and there was love. Those are lovely adult fish. The albinos L144's I bought there are already on eggs.
