Today at the TCA Swap-Meet

Hey guys, thought I'd post an update on the Swap-Meet, the wife and I spent a little time this afternoon and drove down to Irving to check it out. I wasn't looking at anything in particular but ended up leaving with a nice group of pygmy cories (6), a snowball pleco, and a lemon spotted green pleco! If the swap meet is any indication I'd say the Auction is going to be pretty interesting! Here are a few pics I snagged a couple hours ago ---

The six pygmy are just under an inch long and are going to be permanent residents of the fry tank since they aren't going to get much larger


Snowball's a little over two inches and will be in the fry tank until I feel it's a threat to the tinier residents (probably about 4~1/2")


Green's about 4 inches at the moment and can't wait to see him get full grown!!

niiiiiiice! I have always wanted one of the designer plecos...

that green one looks great

nice catch

Man I forgot about the meet

You haven't missed the auction yet, I'd say that's when you'll see the really good stuff anyway. Not to say I didnt see a decent variety of quality wares at the meet... I set a budget of one benjamin, didn't spend it all but didn't want to go over my limit either >_<

so what did that one go for??? you have me wanting one for my molly tank

35, roughly

not as much damage as i figured... i know alot of those uncommon plecos are rediculously expensive... like they want one of your first born for a blue eyed panache pleco lol...


wouldnt mind a gold nugget or mango, or a king tiger

That is one cool looking fish!

No doubt I got a deal on them, would recommend checking out the next TCA event if they're looking to pick up some new fish. I didn't see anything of notable size though, all LF's were definitely adolescents.

It was a great turnout for the first swap meet of the TCA. I was able to pick a good used fluval 404 for 30$ & an Emperor 280 for 12$. I didn't buy any fish, am waiting for the auction, May 1st. I encourage everyone to come to the auction, they're loads of fun!
