Hi All!
I met some of you at the ACA Convention over the weekend and had great time. For those of you who I didn't meet, my name is Terry Havelka, I live in the Denver Colorado area and I am a member of the Rocky Mountain Cichlid Association as well as the Colorado Aquarium Society. I mainly keep African Cichlids. My primary interest right now is mbunas but I also have some peacocks, Victorians and west African species....among other things.
Terry

Terry,
Good to see you posting here and hopefully your trip home was uneventful! Did you acquire anything in the auction?

Thanks for the warm welcome all.
Mark, I did not pickup anything at the ACA Auction. The fish that I wanted were a little to big to fit in breather bags that I brought....oh well. I still had a great time!

Sorry to hear of the latest moron with a gun. Hope all is well and that this did not personally touch anyone you know.

signde, You are correct, we have the Downtown Aquarium (Restaurant) which has a few nice salt water exhibits. It is worth seeing once but to be honest with you most people find it to be a bit of a let down. We also a portion of the Denver Zoo called "Tropical Discovery". It has Salt Water and Fresh Water exhibits as well as some reptile and amphibian (snakes, poison dart frogs,Komodo Dragons, etc.). Personally, I prefer the Zoo over the Downtown Aquarium. Here is a link to the Downtown Aquarium: www.aquariumrestaurants.com/downtownaquariumdenver/default.aspAnd here is the Denver Zoo: denverzoo.org/ |

We have an aquarium restaurant here too. If I remember correctly the main tank is about 600,000 gallons? It's pretty cool, especially if you're into a $60 lunch. LOL.

Thanks Mark,
All is well. We were lucky in that my son and his friends were at a different theater about 10 miles away. His girlfriend lives in Aurora and unfortunately, some of her co-workers were in the theater and saw things that they will carry with then for the rest of their lives.
