ACA 2008
Atlanta, Georgia

The 2008 ACA was a good one. The show had lots of fish and the speakers were great. One talk that stood out a lot to me was Wayne Libel's Discus talk which covered how many species of Discus we have. Sadly, Ray Lucas, a great supporterr of the hobby was unable to attend the show, which he usually makes anually.

The vendor tanks were dissapointing. There was little variety and almost everything was Uruguayan fish with the same species being sold by different vendors.
