Hi Kaity! I am from India and at least to my knowledge a serious interest in aquarium and stuff related to it were absent a decade ago... Its good to see people get so seriously related to this hobby today... Also the aquarium market has increased alot in the past years, especially with the kind of equipments and accessories we get to give the fish live in a happy environment.
That was awesome Kaity. Thanks for taking us along with you....I've been to plenty of auctions....but never a fish auction....thanks for sharing this experience. Your videos are really relaxing to watch....great African cichlid tank BTW. Stay blessed 🙌
Hi. I was also at the auction and I also bought the wild bettas. They’re Betta Unimaculata from seller F. $50 a pair! What a steal. I don’t think there were any macrostoma bettas. There was a single betta Apollon though. I hope you enjoyed the day.
*_WOW never knew there were Fish Auctions like this..._* It makes sense to have different arrangements for buying and selling certain fish. In the clip about indoor slanted river tank, there was 1 rare and very expensive fish. People auction all kinds of rare things like art and cars. Looks like a fun time. Thanks for sharing.
That was fun. Made me smile that you were willing to record video past midnight. Beautiful cichlid display at home and congratulation on your new purchases.
WOW! That peppermint pleco breeding pair would have gone home with me! I really liked the gold corys you took home! I've not seen those before! AND LOVE your friends tank with all the angels! 😍
Most aquarium clubs will have auctions generally at each monthly meeting there might be a few limited items for sale. Additionally most aquarium clubs will have a major auction combined with a fish show on a yearly basis and this is when some great deals can be had on equipment, accessories and fish. The fish that are up for auction will be locally raised so they are already accustomed to the water conditions in your area and often the fish will be something that is quite rare in the hobby.
I really enjoyed this. I have never been to a fish auction. I might fall in love with so many of them. Thank you from the USA!! P.S. I have a pea puffer. Very interesting little guy who lives on baby ramshorn snails in my guppy tank. I didn't pay $250 for him, lol. Wow.
@@VtuberLife I have a lot of snails so he leaves my guppies alone. Pea puffers need to have the job of baby snail management. Mine works all the time looking for newly-hatched ramshorn snails. It is good you keep your guppies and puffer separate if he is so aggressive to your guppies. I'd do the same of course. They just really need those little snails to keep them happy :).
Great video Kaity. Never realized fish auctions were such a big thing in Oz. Lovely peacock you got there + I'm keen to see your laser cory's in their tank!
Thank you! 😄 Yes neither did I until recently!! I've got the corys in the sump at the moment and am growing them out a bit just incase my bichir decides to act up 😂 I think they will look beautiful in the tank though
Wow...What a trooper 😁 I am going to my first auction tomorrow and I am very nervous about it. Your video helped calm me down a little bit, thanks! Ours starts at 10:00 am but is two hours away so it's going to be a lot of preparation. You got some great fish! Congratulations! Thanks for another wonderful video ❤
Graham and i have traded fish and sold fish to each other in the past, he is a cool dude with loads of experience! known him for many years now. defs need to catch up for a brew with him next time i'm down south again.
hi kaity that must be the longest fish auction. we also have them over here in england but try to do it on a sundays. starting at lunch time and finishing around 5pm i did like those peppermint bristlenose catfish and i thought the guy at his stand selling the caves was a good idea .something ive not seen in the uk so i will have to check them out and see if they are available on line , but you all seem very keen on the hobby which is always nice to see i also wish we had your lovely warm weather because in the uk its either raining or freezing 🥶 Paul
Hi Paul! I was thinking maybe in the future they could start them in the morning/lunch so they don't go till midnight! 🤣 Maybe that's part of the fun though. Yes the weather is lovely and warm here now, it's great. The Ezycaves are definitely available online, and I'm pretty sure he ships overseas 😊 Thank you so much for the kind words!
No freaking way! those laser Cories were such an awesome price! I really wish we had an auction like that here in Melbourne haha. looks so fun just to get the community together.
I love the ezy caves. I seen them on Parker’s reefs and Blake’s aquatics TH-cam channels when they were at the underwater pet expo, will definitely have to get some as I have a few breeding bristlenose catfish and some peppermint bristlenose catfish that I’m raising until I can breed them as well. Keep up the great work!! I’m alway excited when I see you’ve uploaded a new video. 😊
Thank you so much, that's so lovely to hear 😊 I really love the Ezy Caves too! They actually make me want to breed bristlenose catfish because I love the look of them so much 😂
@@Kaityscichlids I’d try breeding the peppermint bristlenoses as there is less of them around (Atleast in my area around Newcastle NSW) and you would be able to sell them to stores and people more easily as everyone has the common bristlenoses breeding, I’m sure Nick from keeping fish simple would love to have someone close by breeding some of the peppermint bristlenoses.
@@JUICYRUSEY that makes sense then why the peppermint bristlenose pairs were so popular at the auction! Lots of people were keen to bid on them. Maybe I'll give them a go at some point 😊 Thank you for the tips!
@@Kaityscichlids peppermints and starlights are both gorgeous fish. Only difference is the starlights keep the white stripe at the end of their tales and fins unlike the peppermints which lose them as they get older, but I believe the starlight’s are a lot more rare and also way more expensive. I need to find a couple more peppermints to go with mine so I have more genetic diversity for when they breed. Also having caves are great even if you aren’t intending on breeding them as they like a place to rest at daytime to hide away from the lights if they are too bright.
so, 1st time seeing any video from you and your aquarium cover just blew my mind and im just going to copy it because its going to make my life so much easier than moving a 20 kilo glass cover every time i need to get inside the tank. you got yourself a new subscriber
I used to help run these auctions for a number of years and I know most of the people involved you can get fish for a 10th of what you pay for at the shops because most of the sellers breed them in the past they have been known to run till the sun comes up
Wow! It’s times like this I wish I lived in Brisbane! We need this near me… central Coast NSW, IF ANYONE knows of one closer to me? Thanks for taking us with you Kaity❤️🇦🇺
Hi Kaity, i'm from Germany and will give some information to your video. Well different countries,different methods of selling fish. In germany we don't have fish auctions at all. Instead we have aquarien exhibitions which last longest a weekend. On those places you can buy mostly things for hardscape not fishes. Selling fish at exhibitions is seen here very critical, because the transportation of fish to those places is really stressful for the animals. i hope you can understand what i mean, i knew, my english is very bad. sincerely Achim
Australia has so less population and has fish auctions? Never heard of such over here. Fish prices seem very high there and 10 Aussie Dollars for Java Fern? I could be rich over there :) - Marcus
I went to an auction saturday here in Denmark. They are pretty popular with up to 8-900 lots, most of them without a price reserve. So you can make some really good bargins - or buy something way above it value because you got hit by bidding fever. 😂 They usually starts at 10 in the morning and continue to the final lot. Sometimes 8-10 hours later. But great fun.
Your retail prices are ridiculous, so what a fab idea... It looks a bit crazy but I'd imagine it's really good fun. We need something like that in the UK. I seem to have a few very horny livebearers, so I end up either having to get more tanks or sell them them back to retailers for pennies. For $20, that driftwood is a steal!!
Hahaha, that is the way of the livebearer 🤣 They breed like rabbits! And yes it's definitely a great idea and such a good opportunity to snag a bargain
That was a really long night! But it sounds like you came home with some good stuff! I also have never been to a fish auction, because the nearest fish club to me is two hours away. So, I only get to go to big gatherings like that when conventions come to Orlando. I just put out a new African Cichlid video this week, check it out if you have a second and let me know what you think!😁🐠🦯
Hi Kaity, I’ve just subscribed to your channel. You’re looking amazing in that video btw. I think it’s absolutely crazy they have fish auctions running until early hours of the morning. What time do they start? Here in Sydney they start around 6-7pm and by 10-11pm they are done. Keep up the amazing content! ❤
Woaahhh....more than 250$ for puffet.... you won't believe in INDIA pea puffer can cost around or less than 500rs (6.04744 USD) per piece.... By the way love your videos... Stay safe Keep uploading
How good!! I saw that you had kept rams at one stage? I am looking to get either bolivian or german blue rams, what made you love the bolivians so much? Im torn ha!
Yes I did! I love Bolivian rams because they are really hardy and I think they have a nice natural beauty to them. I prefer that over the more neon/shiny colour of the German rams. But that's all really!
There is a page on Facebook called Qld Cichlid Group Inc and they post all of their events on there 😊 I also didn't know they exist, I only found out about it through mutual friends!
been going to these auctions for about 12 years, midnight finish was a common occurance at some of these, they start at 5 pm theres usually 6 per year, 4 at springwood and 2 at caboolture, QFAS is usually the last 1 of the year but as of yet ive found no info on it other wise caboolture around end of feb , early march will be the first next year. the local fish forum and some soc media sites will put ip posts when they are announced i some times sell but this time i had fish pre ordered through some contacts so i only took what was pre ordered and had fish i had ordered as well...still walked out with about 20 auction lots, i left at midnight.....jad the v8 super cars race to go to sunday or i would have been in on the outdoor sales myself
Thank you for all of the info Bill!! I'm guessing you are the Bill who I met on the night? 😄 That's fair enough, it's good to hear you are spreading yourself across a few different hobbies unlike some of us 🤣
How much for pea puffers??!! These are around £5-7 pounds here in UK 😯and are widely available, time to move to Australia and breed these for a living 😂
![เจ็บที่ยังฮัก - ม่อน วรวิทย์ [ Official Mv ] จอนนี่มิวสิค](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/KALIGSRSjFs/mqdefault.jpg)
I still can't get over the fact the average retail price of a single pea puffer can go for over $250 in Australia.🤯
I knooowww!! 😩😂😂 It's crazy! There was one point where they were $500 each but people are slowly breeding more of them
In India we can get 600 baby puffer for 500 dollers
@@Mbaku074 with that many puffer fish here you could put down a house deposit 😂
@@Kaityscichlids i wish I could ❤️ but in same amount i can own 2 buildings here 🤣
2 euro 50 here in The Netherlands. 😅
The clayfield auctions were pretty amazing. Very cool to see so many people still in the hobby ! Thanks for taking the time to film
Gave up the hobby 6 years ago and decided to go again because of your channel, thanks from dublin 🇮🇪 ireland.
That makes me so happy to hear that 😊
Live without Aquarium is not worth living :)
So nice I like the auction and fish up for sell glad to see Adrian at auction to you was out late I did see Nick last 🙂
You’re very lucky to have a great aquarium community like that
Yes we are certainly very lucky here 😊

other wise caboolture around end of feb , early march will be the first next year. the local fish forum and some soc media sites will put ip posts when they are announced
i some times sell but this time i had fish pre ordered through some contacts so i only took what was pre ordered and had fish i had ordered as well...still walked out with about 20 auction lots, i left at midnight.....jad the v8 super cars race to go to sunday or i would have been in on the outdoor sales myself
Thank you for all of the info Bill!! I'm guessing you are the Bill who I met on the night? 😄 That's fair enough, it's good to hear you are spreading yourself across a few different hobbies unlike some of us 🤣
Pretty awesome unfortunately here in the UK we don't really have many fish auctions
That sucks! I didn't even know we had them here until recently
Thật là tuyệt vời quá à thanks my friend good morning
Thank you 😊🙏
How much for pea puffers??!! These are around £5-7 pounds here in UK 😯and are widely available, time to move to Australia and breed these for a living 😂
Hahaha yes whoever is breeding them here is making a killing 🤣
iv done a few things that late at night but never a fish auction lol 😁 cool laser cory! better than the green laser cory and not so much money
Hahaha, I was thinking the same 🤣 At least there's no hangover the next day when it's a fish auction other than sleep deprivation
