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.

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.
