WOW Things have really been hopping around here the last several days. Last Friday we had our October meeting of C.A.F.E. One of our own, Kevin Bauman, gave a talk on aquarium photography. Kevin has the reputation of taking beautiful photos of his African cichlids and shared some of his secrets with the rest of us. Excellent presentation. You can see Kevin’s work over at his website, http://www.african-cichlid.com. Continue reading Devario assamensis – A Gift

Devario acrostomus – A Fall Auction Treasure!
Our clubs fall auction was this past Saturday, October 5 2013. It was a great time and the club president reports it was our biggest auction ever. I always have a great time and the variety of fish, inverts, plants and hardware that comes up for auction never ceases to amaze. All that being said, as a keeper of Danios, there is generally not much available in that area to get me fired up. Normally most of the Danios for auction are either my fish, or fish that I am already keeping. Well that certainly wasn’t the case at this auction!

2013 C.A.F.E. Swap Meet
Last Saturday was our local club’s annual swap meet and silent auction. To say I had a great time would be an under statement.
First off, I got to see all the local fish heads after a rather long winter. Second, I sold tons of fish and inverts. And last, but not least, I won some super nice L046 Zebra plecos in the silent auction!
The Zebra’s, (4 in total), were a BAP submission by club President Jeremy Basch.
This years swap was at the new location in the Marriott Courtyard Columbus West. It’s an easy spot to get to and we had a great turn-out!
If you are not involved with your local club, you are missing out. It seems like every event my club has is better than the last.
CAFE Swap Meet – March 24, 2012
My local club had their annual Swap Meet a couple of Saturday’s ago. What a great time! And to think, I almost didn’t go. I had decided it was just too far for me to go, about 3 hours round trip.
Lucky for me, Cory the club plant guru, posted on the C.A.F.E. forum that he was looking for someone to split a table.
At any rate, I renewed some old friendships, sold some stuff, made some new friends, and had some great conversations.
