               We are the minority aren't we.  I'll be bringing some of my large zebra angels, with the pearlscale gene.  Some express the pearlscale and some don't but they are all siblings from a male zebra and a female silver pearlscale.  They all have excellent markings, nice straight lines, not marbley looking at all, they are all zebra.  I don't think any of my assassin snail babies will be large enough to bring and I don't really have enough to make it worthwhile.  I may bag up some small quanties of Potassium Permanganate to bring.  I'll have to dig around in the garage and see what else I have.

                          Thanks Raul. I've been told that by several people who have been to auctions around the country and given how large it's become I suspect they are correct.

                            I'm going to combine two seperate groups of dubs together, to make room for some new kids.

                            I'm sorry we all did not get to go to the Hill Country auction.

                              Yeah...I was looking forward to taking a big group. I felt kind of bad about going but I couldn't even get to the parking lot where everyone was supposed to meet. When I exited off of I-10 the feeder was underwater.
