Hi Zman, I didn't attend the whole thing. I was there Fri evening, and all day Sunday. I was able to catch Olivers apisto talk, and while it was pretty short I really liked it anyway. He had some great pics of wild apistos (I forget which ones) defending a spawn in their natural habitat. As for the auction.... well it was an auction. I trolled through the rooms on friday night and came away with a trio of sp. belem, and I got a pair of breitbinden (also from a room) on Saturday. I bought 1 bag from the auction. A trio being sold as sp. rio nanay 2. After looking at some pics from Mike W. and chatting with him about it we decided that they are rio nanay 1 not 2, and it is a reverse trio. This one was my first so I can't compare them to the other ACA conventions. The fish being shown were beautiful and a pleasure to see!
