Default AGA Conference (LONG!!!)

Village Tropical had one wall of tanks full of plants. Probably 12-14
or maybe 21 - can't remember if three levels or just two.

At entry they have a large tank - maybe 150 gal? under the counter.
Also 3-4 nice display only planted tanks that have been set up for a
while.

Very nice knowledgeable people about fish and plants. Met a guy who
raises Killies at home - with 100 tanks (something I was in to years
ago).

I bought a couple of Cryptocoryne Retrospirilas and a single
Apogenta Longipannonnong (spelling probably bad). Had to come back
and pull out some large amazon swords from my 55 gal and take to my
lfs. Also had to prune back the ever-growing sunset hygro.

Lots of plants at the auction. Some plentiful I had and others seemed
more for more advanced folks so I quit bidding and went to Village
Tropical.

I learned a lot, saw
some fabulous tanks and got the opportunity to get some really nice
plants - at the meeting auction and, as I ultimately did, back at
Village Tropical before I caught the plane back.


Did they set up and plant the tanks just for the weekend?

And what kind of plants did Village Tropical have? What did you get?
