    Please bring them and show them. That is what makes this thing fun. When the show get closer you will be able to register your fish so we know how many tanks to setup. You can absolutely sell them.

    Absolutely, bring some fish. For clarification.........We have a class called Bred by Exhibitor. In order to enter your discus in this class the discus must have come from parents that you bred. If the discus you bring do not meet this requirement then it would be entered in one of the regular classes which are Solid, Spotted, Fine Line, Thick Line, Open and Wild.

    I jumped on kayak.com and looked around a little bit. I could not get a price all the way out to July 16 but looked in January and saw several that were less than $200 one way,

    I hope you can make it work. Yes currently we do it every two years. It is simple too much work to do it every year.

    And Quintin, you could finally get those cones from me that you want. No high postage this way! I hope to be a vendor again.

    Can't you just drive to Buffalo and fly Buffalo to Chicago. Then when you fly back to Buffalo you just drive with your fish to Toronto.

    I'd rather drive if I still need to go to Buffalo Bro. Toronto to Buffalo will be around 2 hrs. Drive. Plus the waiting, check in and the flight it self. Drve is about 7 to 8 hrs. Will see Bro. It's a little bit far anyway so I still have ample time to prepare.

    Well driving is the way to go. I drove to Austin (16 hours). Driving makes it really easy to take and bring home fish.

    Agreed. Unless you get a speeding ticket on the way home.....lol (I know, my own fault!)

    Right now my plan is to probably drive to Chicago as well. Like Larry said, really easy to take and bring fish back and kind gives you some ease of access to explore if you need to stretch your legs from the hotel without renting a car.

    I'm driving down. I've got a couple of people joining me. Plus if I pick up some fish like others have mentionned, it will be easier.

    Cheers

    If everything works out, I should be there. It all depends on the job demands. I really need to make it to this next show.
