You must notify the show chair if you are planning to bring walk-ins. Pre-registration is greatly preferred. Walk-ins should also be benched by the entrant. Walk-ins must arrive by 6pm Friday.

All walk-ins must either pick up fish after the show or provide an insulated shipping box, bags, shipping address, and return postage.

In addition to any show fish, entrants may also send Auction-Only fish.  Unless marked on the entry form, auction fish have a minimum bid of $5.00.

Auction fish should include return postage - which will be refunded if unused. (You also have the option of donating any unsold fish to the club. We will make every effort to sell at auction, but we do not gaurentee sales.)

Auction is for Bettas only (any species), aquarium plants, and food cultures. Dry goods (tanks, food, etc) are only accepted for walk-in (no mail ins).
