theres not a catalogue as in earlier auctions but they is a thread on the SVAS website

although whats listed cannot be taken as will be for sale at the auction it all depends on what the sellers bring through the door on the day. hence why the catalogue is no longer done.

GEnerally a good mix of tropicals never seen marines go through at auctions and sometimes see a nice selection of coldwater coming through. Although you get more coldwater / pond fish towards the spring / summer.

always a good selection of malawis would very much doubt any marines will go through the auction, i was saying on a earlier post ive never seen marines sold at auction.
