[BlueBolts]

Thanks for the pics....subscape looks awesome ! Don't think I've been there, but definitely a must only next Melbourne trip ! Looked like an awesome day !

[BiGGiE]

Subscape is an insane aquarium to visit! The best aquarium in the aquascaping field by far

I failed miserably by forgetting to take any photos of shrimp!

Make sure you let us know when youre coming down BB!

[BiGGiE]

Also with the generosity and combined efforts of Dean and BB from the shrimp auction alone we managed to raise $1670 to donate to the Make A Wish Foundation!

Currently the raffle has raised $800 with another week of ticket sales still to go so hopefully we can get the total amount to over $3000 =]

[newbreed]

All good Jamie' date=' I could see those TB's were taking your full attention, Marcus's Bluebolts had my attention for a while too, congrats on getting one, awesome price too, well done! :applause:[/quote']

Something about me, auctions and good causes. Two bluebolts came home with me, they are even more stunning than usual. Thanks for sharing your advise on the rack setups too mate, it has all been taken onboard.

Great to meet many people who said they have been on the forum to read and learn but haven't yet posted. Hopefully managed to convince a few to contribute when they can.

Thanks heaps Biggie, great work mate!!

[Garnelchen]

Looks like I've missed out big time. :(

Thanks for taking photos Deniz.

Will they have another Show next year? I hope so!

[BiGGiE]

Ill shotgun some babies of those amazing bluebolts when they breed Jamie!!

Provided the shrimping community grows through things like this and more aquariums stocking them ill be working on another show! And this one id love to setup like they do overseas with breeders shrimp on expo and entered as a competition in different classes but this was a good baby stepto start with =]
