How many vendors were there, Mugs? Looked like it's similar to the ones we do here. Our next one is this coming Saturday. So far we have 12 tables signed up.

I spent a lot of time this weekend cleaning out my aquarium closet and my 2 outdoor storage cabinets to load up my tables. Friday night I'll bag up a bunch of plants and bogwood and should be ready to go Saturday morning.
Happy Aquariuming,
Ron

Yes, it was 15 tables, room for more....there were only 13-14 used tho...one lady was called into work at the last minute...there still was a great variety of fish and equipment...in contrast, the last swap they had was at a different venue, and altho plenty of tables were available, there were only 4-5 vendors that showed....that was a couple years ago....I'm betting that a spring swap will bring out 20+ sellers... ;D

We're getting between 12-20 tables with 12-15 vendors and having them every 4 months or so. This will be our 6th one in 2 years' time. We have between 75 and 100 people show up to swap/buy/sell.

Happy Aquariuming,
Ron

It was a smaller swap. But thay were a nice bunch of people.  I did better there than the Milwaukee swap. I would do there swap again.

I went as a buyer and not a vender. Lots of great fish there! We bought more than we thought we would, but couldn't pass up the deals! Altogether we bought 3 L200s some 2 green dragons, a angelfish pair from Mugs and some nice blue cobra guppies(: Had a great time and loved meeting everyone! Lots of great people and knowledge will definitely be attending the next swap!

I think the swap was good. Lots of nice looking fish and great people. It was definitely a small swap but like Jon said we are trying to build the club down here back up. Hopefully by the next swap I'll have enough fish that I can sell there. I've only sold at the gcca swap, which was awesome
