G'day Everybody.

With a massive thank you to Discus World I am happy to announce the start of our first competition for 2008

This Comp will be for the Best Discus.

Everyone get your cameras out and start snapping your favourite fish.

The comp will run for the month of April, so all entries must be lodged by midnight April 30 2008. Once the Comp closes I will post a poll for 2 weeks so we can all vote on which is our favourite fish.

in the event of a draw with the poll the admins and advisors will vote to decide which fish wins.

Entry conditions:

1. 1 entry per post

max 3 photos per fish (3 pics per post).

a discription must be included with each entry (how long you've had the fish for what it is etc etc).

2. all entires must be your own fish

3. all photos must be taken by yourself


Photos will be judged on content NOT image quality (hence those of us with super highend cameras wont be advantaged)

The prize for this comp supplied by Discus World is 1 pair of discus + free freight to any virgin airport in Australia those outside of a virgin airport will have to pay the difference for shipping.

start snapping photos and start posting, lets see what the forum has to offer.[/b]

dont worry im not entering just giving people an idea of what we are looking for in the comp

ENTRY #1
Okay, I am no photographer, nor do I think I will have a chance against some of the most gorgeous discus in the world on this forum...

I do however adore my Red Turquoise, he/she was my first ever discus, and now rules the roost of my display tank. So to get the ball rolling I thought I would put in an entry. He/she is by no means perfect, but I love the patterning and his/her colouring is coming along really well.

Type: Red Turquoise
How Long Owned: Approx 4 months
Feeding On: Frozen Brine Shrimp/Spirulina Mix, Frozen Bloodworms, Hagen Nutrifin Max Flake

[DiscusEden]

Excellent idea & prize guys, very impressed. This should bring out some photos of some fantastic fish! Can't wait!

Very nice start there, well done!

Just to clarify the rules, can you enter more than one of your fish? If so, is there a limit on how many you can enter?

[ILLUSN]

you can enter as many fish as you like, but 1 entry per post.

at the end of the comp i'll number all the eligible fish from 1 to whatever and put up a poll so we can vote.

ENTRY #2

May as well join in the fun.

Type: Wild Royal Blue
How Long Owned: Purchased mid Feb 08 from Xtreme
Fed On: Home made Beef Heart mainly but also Frozen Brine Shrimp/Spirulina, Frozen Bloodworms, Mal's Dried Worms. Won't touch dry food so far.







Wayne (Xtreme) took some nice photos of this fish too, in a bare tank in his shop, but I didn't use those ('cause that'd be cheating). He looks quite different in a bare tank / bright tank. Much paler, yellow really - look at my avatar - that is this very same discus in a bare, brightly lit tank

Anyway, not a winner, but I like him anyway

ENTRY #3

Type: Mixed Albino
How Long Owned: Approx 6 months from Xtreme
Fed On: Home made Beef Heart mainly but also Frozen Brine Shrimp/Spirulina, Frozen Bloodworms, Mal's Dried Worms. Tetra Color Bits, Breeders blend flake (eats anything given)

ENTRY #4

First entry is my Snow Leopard

I came to owning him 8 months ago on a trade for my old ghost Knife Fish who at the time was picking off cardinals.
I was ecstatic with the trade as I had originally paid $25 for the Knife fish 6 months earlier.

Photos taken
1.) September 2007
2.) December 2007
3.) April 2008

The peachie/pink spots are still as strong as ever and the blue/green flexs in the fins look striking. Still not a full grown adult yet, but certainly on the path to becoming...!!!!!

[Robdog]

I know who I'm voting for and it starts with "TW's Wild Blue"

ENTRY #5

I had them about 2years and they paired up on my 5' tank.
Food: All different types of food (Frozen, dry flake etc) beef heart.

They just recently had bred.
I'm just glad to share the pictures

Of course, i don't mind having more pair LOL

cheers
