Missouri Aquarium Society Annual
- Thread starter Mr.Firemouth
- Start date
Well the show looked like a big success with lots of people present for the auction and lots of fish in the show!
There was cichlids, catfish, and tetra/barbs, and also an aquascaping contest! Fun stuff!
I missed the speakers because of my schedule and checked out the auction. I was hoping to see some C. nanoluteus, but no dice! If I pick some up at Chicago I may be the only guy in St.Louis with them!
I met up with some Internet friends and also talked to Steve Edie(ACA BOT) briefly. Nice guy! He is a fan of Mo's pics and videos! I was hoping to run into Ad Konings but he was long gone by the time I got there. I wish I would of had more time!(I'm such a bad planner!)
I took some pics of the show tables to show that there was plenty of display tanks and entries, but was rushed and did not get all the info...
Here is a pic of the Auction bags 1.5 hours after the auction started, so I am unsure how many bags were really there!!!
Here is some pics of the attendance at 2pm...
And here is some pics of the show fish/tanks...
Aquascaping...
A sweet catfish in the corydoras family...
And the cichlids....
Red terror male...
Discus...
Gymnogeophagus...
Red devil...
And Best in Show is a Geophagus....
I was only there about 1.5 hours but had a blast! I wish this club met on weekends instead of Thursday Night once a month. I have a hard time getting out there.
I hope everyone enjoyed my pics and what little knowledge I had for descriptions. Next time I will take notes.

I'm pissed I missed this. I had planned on going but my wife and new born did not cooperate. The baby was due the 11th but didn't come till the 22nd when my wife was induced.
I was at the last auction in the winter. Got a couple J. Marleri that after purchase and subsequent breedings I learned were Transcriptus.
How was the African Selection at the Auction.
Funny thing about MASI, I went to one of these as a kid and actually showed one of my fish (got 4th out of 4!?!?!) but I got to not only hear Dr. Paul Loiselle give a speech on collecting fish in the Peruvian Amazon but he also sat next to me at my table for the banquet. This was a couple of years before he started writing for Aquarium Fish Mag.
