I will be there. You may want to talk to Jim Noble, as Mike called him the "rainbow guy". I got 10 sterbia thru him about 6 months ago, that a friend of his bred.

Any adult 5 plus inch discus going to be at the show?

[cjr8420]

you might see few but not many if any.mostly fry and juvies as far as discus go.

[Bill63SG]

I just found the card of a guy I've purchased pleco's from in the past.Seeing if he's still in it and his prices.Still going to go,but would rather get direct then the stress of bagged at a show table.He had like 125 tanks in his fish room.I had to turn sideways,couldnt walk straight thru.Plus it give me an excuse to hit my favorite Chicago beef stand.

[cjr8420]

heres the vender list shows who and what they are bringing http://www.gcca.net/component/content/article/47-admin-testing/227-february-2012-swap-vendor-list

[DiscusLoverJeff]

I might be there. Should we all were our SD tee-shirts to find each other, Lol.

I have nice long Val plants that I can bring if anyone needs any?

[Chicago Discus]

Hey you guys from Chicago I'm going on sunday if anyone wants meet for lunch let me know we can pick a place

[DiscusLoverJeff]

There is a place to eat right in the same parking lot that serves meals all day long I believe.

I usually get to the meet around 8:30 to try and be the first few in line because when it opens at 10:00, the line is usually out the door.

I have nice long Val plants that I can bring if anyone needs any?Hey Jeff,pretty 95% sure I'm going.You want to swap some vals for some red crypts?Also I could bring you a breeding group of those endlers.72357Anybody else want some crypts?Going to thin them out dramatically for the new tank,will have nowhere else to put them when I shut down this one.

[Bill63SG]

Smart, bringing someone to carry the bags.2 yearolds don't carry bags,they bounce,poke and drag them.

[Keith Perkins]

[Bill63SG]

Well I e-mailed plecopete about some of the cories I was interested in.I mentioned other locals from this website were coming and some were also looking for cories.Let's see if we can get any type of group discount.

[Cosgrovb]

Are we all planning on lunch still?

[aku3]

I'm still debating, hopefully there will be some nice discus there!!!

[PleiadesSTi]

Wish I could go. I have to work. :(

[TNT77]

Ill be there. :)

[Bill63SG]

Lunch would be nice,but if I buy fish,don't know how long I'd want to hang out.

[Bill63SG]

I'm still debating, hopefully there will be some nice discus there!!!It can be real hit or miss.looking at the vendor list,I don't think I saw anyone bringing discus.

[Wes]

Epic discus on list. Jeff from exotic discus usually there but don't see him on list.

[Chicago Discus]

I will be there

[Keith Perkins]

Ah, it's on Sunday. Got to pass this time.

[Bill63SG]

Put in my pre-order for some longfin panda corys,so I'm going to be there 10-10:15.

[Keith Perkins]

And I'm off Monday. Maybe I could swing down toward the end of it. Where's lunch?

[mdlman99]

had a pretty good time, lots of vendors and enthusiasts there. I couldnt find my sterbai/panda cories! =(. Everyone was sold out of em. Good thing though is that i got my festivum for my wilds tank! Was looking for more but no one has these guys. Pretty rare in shops too.
