Hans,
I live in Columbus Oh and was thinking about going down there for the day. Since I am new to this Hobby was not sure if it would be worth it.. Sounds like you have gone before, is this an event I should not miss?

Terry, I'll be there isn't that enough :angel: :D and if that's not enough as far as I know Master Cary Strong will be there too.

Joanne and I always see it as a few days away from everything (and still be around fish/Discus) we meet up with friends we only see at events as the ACA and OCA (other show we try to do every year)
Every year we go the group of friends is getting bigger and bigger, again if possible we won't miss it.

Will see you there Yim.

Moon, only fish I will be selling is the show Discus if anybody wants them :p most of the time they are sold before the show even starts.
We will not have a sales room, but my friend Cory from Bayleesfish will sell our Discus. I will bring a few boxes for him.
We want to enjoy the show and not be in a "sales room" all day, of course I will be around Cory a lot,

American Cichlid Association: http://www.cichlid.org/


I plan on going. This time I wont be working myself half to death like I did in Atlanta. (I was the guy that took care of all the donation fish and did setup most of the air for all the tanks, Hans was awesome and loaned us his drill bits which were a thousand times better than what we were using before.)

And Hans I can fully understand not wanting to do much work. That is my goal come this year.

If you like dscus , Hans will have a nice array of show discus Cory will have some nice Stendker discus for sale from Hans . They might be other discus vendors and you will have a large group of people from NADA -North American Discus Association . It will be a FUN discus event as well as a Cichlid event and you are going to get a chance to hear a discus related lecture from cary Strong , a very well respected discus breeder .

It will be my first ACA event and it looks like a really good line up.

Hans, I have some of your Discus from one of Cory's AquaBid auctions.

You got to be kidding me - your talk was the main one I plan to attend. I don't even get to work at 8am.

I agree w/the poster above, can we get an informal synopsis of the discussion friday night!??! Or like you say, we will find you around noon. ;)

Seriously though, is that 8am time in stone?

I wish I was able to go. School has me working hard, and work at the greenhouse never stops. Even though Cinci is my hometown, I cant go. Now unless someone is willing to pay my way through a "broke college student foundation", i'll have to see y'all in 2010. Take lots of pics and dont have too much fun without me.

Ouch 8 am... I tend to get up at 10 if I am lucky... Well the things we do for fish. I will be there Hans. Can't say I will be awake but I will be in the room. (But of course your entralling talk will keep us awake and sitting on the edge of our chairs.)

I'm also going to the ACA this year. Dottie we are all going to miss seeing you.

Now for a bigger announcement NADA is looking into doing a discus show in Dallas, Texas June 11th - 13th 2010. You will get to hear Discus Han's, Cary Strong, John Nicholson, and Al Sabetta speak. Other people we are looking at, but it will really come down to our finances with this show are Tony Silva, Heiko, Andrew Soh and Dick Au. No it won't be all of them from the last group, but one or two of them.

I think a realistic goal could be 100 people attending and 100 fish entered in probably 6 different classes. NADA is currently researching doing this and we should have a definite answer by mid September.

Im having a blast in Cinncinatti, especially since my Albino won best of class. Its been hectic trying to rebuild my home, acclimate a new shipment and get ready for the ACA. I would like to dedicate this win, to the briskets i missed at Grillmasters NEDA meeting. I will post pics from the show when i get back on my sponsor section.
