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.

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.

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.

@@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.

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

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! ❤

We have markets where people do what you describe, but I don’t think I’ve seen people sell fish. I’ve seen people sell plants (aquatic sometimes), chickens, and pet products (mostly dogs/cat). I do think we do, but very rarely because market environment is very stressful, hot, etc… This is my experience, but we probably do have fish swaps/shows - I probably just haven’t seen them yet
