Catfish & Loach Show & Auction

Post by The.Dark.One »

Perhaps it's a bit early to be announcing this, but here goes.

On 1st April 2007 Castleford Aquarist Society (England) will be having it's second Catfish & Loach Open Show and general aquatic auction.

As well as the catfish classes there are 4 loach classes. We had some lovely Cobitids at 2006 show, but hope for more hillstream loaches at this show.

Anyone can come along and show and or buy/sell. If anyone is interested, please pm me.

Cheers

Not many loach loonies in or immediately around Castleford, but we get people coming from Scotland, Lancashire, Tyneside etc etc.

You're very welcome to come and do both!

Did you got to Bradford Show in November? The reason I ask is that there were some nice loaches on show and I didnt find out who they belonged to but they were obviously exhibitors I hadnt seen before. They obviously knew how to look after loaches.
They had large Sewellia sp (the spotted one), Pangio doriae, P. shelfordii, and a nice Acanthocobitis botia.
