Thanks for the pics... some beautiful fish! :yes:

[Lisachromis]

There really was. The best in show was a molly I believe. I tried for pics, but it being a black molly .... it just didn't do the fish any justice.

[Katalyst]

That's correct it was indeed a black molly and a lovely one at that. I think Zenin has a photo of it, I'll check.

Oh, I must say it was one of the biggest shows I've seen in a while too. I think I heard that there was 170 entries for this one.

[Katalyst]

It was pretty big, it surprised me. Thanks for posting the photo from Zenin! Hadn't gotten to it yet.

I hope this bodes well for the show for CAOAC's 50th anniversary convention. Also, I believe there's going to be a reptile and amphibian class available at that one as well.

I was reading about that last night on CAOAC's site and didn't know about it till then. I have a few friends who are heavy into reptile breeding, I wonder if its being advertised on the reptile boards. I'll have to check on that.
