MEMBERS TALK

There will be a talk and discussion on current trends for cichlids in the aquarium hobby.

MINI AUCTION

Mini auctions usually start at approximately 8.30pm.
We are expecting 70 lots to go up for sale. We aren't able to advise what fish and goods will be available for sale as club members enter their lots on the night just before the auction starts.

An auction will typically have lots of the following for sale (but there is no guarantee these will be for sale on the night):

African Cichlids - a variety of species from Lake Malawi, Lake Tanganyika, Lake Victoria and also Rift Lakes.
American Cichlids - a variety of species from large Central Americans to the smaller dwarf American cichlids
Catfish and plecos - a variety of all different types of catfish, typically including bristlenose and L numbers
Dry goods - breeding caves, driftwood, aquascaping rocks, filters, etc. Note only brand new electrical items are sold at the auction.
If you would like any information about the Mini Auction, please visit the Auctions page which has detailed information about buying and selling and all of the rules.
