I've always wanted to go to one of these events but they don't seem to happen in the south west!

Same here @BigBen . Luckily this one is 5 mins away from my house.

My only worry is you cant look at the fish before the auction.

@Andys temperate tank don't buy colour morphs, you'll have better success keeping the wild form together.

Cheers Martin. I know there's a bag of 10 P.Scalare in the auction. You do mean silver with black stripe type aye?

[Andys temperate tank]

Well what a waste of time that turned out to be.

Probably 75% of the lots we're live bearers. There was dirty tanks, filters that might not work, bags of junk people didn't want. The auctioneer even got arsey when people weren't bidding on things.

And to top it off the angels I was interested in got described as mixed koi angels so I didnt bid. I wasn't impressed when I saw 1 koi and the other 9 were wild form.

On the plus side I met a bloke who breeds angels fairly local to me. I got his phone number so I might get some fish off him during the week.

Sorry, wasn't online Saturday afternoon ...clearing the garden.

Yes, you'll still have aggression issues during spawning but no where as bad as with the colour morph Angelfish I found. If you can find some wild imported Pterophyllum Scalare (not something I advocate but if they sustainably caught fish then it's not so bad) they seem better natured than their captive bred cousins but I will warn you, they not cheap to buy.

Cheers Martin. The local breeder is sending me a list of types he has for sale today. I'll report back when I get it.

Have you ever kept leopoldi angels?

No, never kept them.

P. Leopoldi are supposed to be smaller but I've read some have said they can be more aggressive than P.Scalare.

I'd research them before buying.

Seriouslyfish - P. Leopoldi

[Martinspuddle]

If you do get Pterophyllum leopoldi, find out if they wild caught and if so what water parameters they been kept in.

I've of people losing them as wild caught are found in very low pH, some as low as 4.

If their tank bred from Germany or Holland they should be fine.
