[MattyB]

wow this came up quick

[Fox]

WOW A bit soon after the last one isnt it????

[Kleinz]

Umm... no it isn't. November is 3 months before February. We thought having one in the warm weather might be nice.

 

I will update the lot list after the BBQ.

[MattyB]

that's a good idea, small little crowded room in the heat lol

[Kleinz]

Pfft everyone's a critic. There are new  high-tech inventions to help with this. They are called "windows" and "ceiling fans". Perhaps you have heard of them?

 

Summer is far better than a winter auction as you don't have the problem of the fish  bags going cold.

 

Hey, I know... instead of trying to dump on it, why not put some lots in and come along? You just might enjoy yourself.

[sandgroper]

It just seems to soon, AZ the older you get the quicker the world spins. It just seems like a couple of days ago it was Christmas and now it's nearly Easter, go on admit it who has bought hot cross buns already.

[Westie]

No hot cross buns, but I did consider a Cadbury cream egg at woollies last night.
The thought of going to the dentist put me off though

[MattyB]

sorry Kleinz was meant to be a joke, and it def be better for the fish that's the main thing and it did seem like last week lol times flying

[archie]

hey kleinz is there a list started yet interested to so whats available

[Kleinz]

Yep. Up top is the list so far. Keep those lots coming, people

[Poncho]

Nice start

 

Those yellow belly Alberts are nice looking fish

[bigjohnnofish]

No hot cross buns, but I did consider a Cadbury cream egg at woollies last night.

i bet it was the thought of h***l certification that put you off....

 

as you get older sandy its just your memory thats fading... keep thinking yesterday was the day before and so on

[Kleinz]

 

Nice start

 

Those yellow belly Alberts are nice looking fish

 

Yes, I think so to both.

 

Just bumping as some more lots have been added, as has the main raffle prize.

 

We are raffling off a Sicce Space EKO+ 300  From Vebas Aquariums - the new model I reviewed Here, so be sure and grab a few tickets for that.

 

 

[Westie]

That and the change in chocolate used. Cadbury Cream Eggs just aren't the same any more....

[Mattia]

Oh man, just 1 male Paratilapia Polleni?!?! Wish to get a good size couple!

[TheTexasCichlidMasacre]
