What a beautiful day outside. For some reason Jan and I were up at 3am...so we got a jump on catching the fish and putting them in buckets, got 40gals of water for the display tanks, and bagged some BN's.....stopped and grabbed a bowl of Wheaties, more coffee ;D, then finished hauling it all out and loaded it in the Tahoe(rear seats flat). We got to the swap at about 8:15 and reversed the process...hauling it all inside and setting everything up.
You always have one of the better looking tables at the swap
The crowd hit and the initial surge was fun. Before they turned em all loose (line tripled down a long hall and then back around) we went around and saw the gang, Capt'n Bob and Gale were there and boy it's great to see them again...the good Capt'n told me about the new goodies...neat stuff too...got some Frenzy,tiny greenie the next generation ;D...and the new Pro-biotic foods...my fish will be very happy ;D....finally found Frank roaming around hunting bargains too.then discovered Tara over behind her Discus tanks( gorgeous fish, wow) playing in a bucket of water, Willie was waiting on line yet, as was Melanie and her Mom(Sue)....no Bob yet, I'll find him later???...
The group shoot was fun....first where does everyone stand...??confusion???
So we think we might have it...???
but oh no.....little miss "I don't like my picture taken" was missing......ta da....here she is.. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Thank you, we try to have a neat and clean set up... ;D...
She does not like having her picture taken. Look at her standing there all sheepish looking. Names to faces, please. I recognize some but not all.
I had a real good time at the swap. Picked up some nice ones from Jon and Scott and then when I got home found my favorite pair (mana x) spawning again. LOL. I'll be nice and let them keep the spawn. ;D ;D ;D

Thanks Mug. Good to know what all you guys look like.
It was a fun swap. It was nice seeing everyone and meeting Willie. I did good at the swap too, I didn't bring half the swap home with me this time and sold almost all my fish. I was a little worried that the angels were too small, I think it helped me out. The little kids like the small pretty angels. I was a little surprised that I didn't sell many BN's. I had a male/female pair that sold and one albino female that sold.
We only brought 4 bags of BN's....you got one and we sold the others...lots of BN sellers this time...strange...
Everyone that has been buying them in the past must of figured out the breed like rabbits ;D The was a lot of Bn's and Angels. Also seen a lot more discus this time.
It was great getting together at the swap. I got a chance to meet Scott and the Captain and see the Plumber again. Also it is always great to see Jan and Jon. Thanks everybody for a good time.

Yeah, I red last night at simple that Josie was there. Did any of you guys meet her by any chance? Big girl. Blond.
Yep, I strolled over and introduced myself....nice lady...beautiful Discus ;D
She's a fairly new importer/breeder. Got in with a big splash in a big way. Yes, she does have good Discus. She was a hoot at NADA.
