2nd Dutch Discus Championship

[Fons_van_der_Hart]

Dear Discus Friends,

On Saturday Oct. 24th and Sunday Oct. 25th 2009, Discus Club Holland is organising the second Dutch Discus Championships.

This years show will be bigger and better than before. Previously there were 70 Championship tanks. For 2009 we have in excess of 100 show tanks. Also alongside the Championship is an Aquarium Sales Show where you will be able to buy Discus, many other fishes, and dry goods. All at very reasonable prices!


A very experienced team of International judges are coming from the U.K., Ireland, Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands to judge the competition entries.
The Discus can be entered in one of the six classes. For all the classes there are some very beautiful awards and there’s also a special award for the public’s favourite Discus.

There is also a lottery with many prizes, including the chance to win some pairs of Stendker Discus.

Good luck and best wishes, Fons. I can't wait to see these beautiful aquaria. Our hobby has just come so far, I can't believe it. I've just come home from Hans's Discus showroom, and it is fantastic. These are serious discus, and so healthy! One is more beautiful than the other. I really feel like I am in the Tiffany's of Discus.

It's funny, I've always seen shades of Schmidt-Focke discus in the fish that Hans put in my home. It's a "look," and it's there. Ancestral Symphysodon aequifasciatus axelrodi. These are the fish I most love to study. Call me sentimental, but I study these fish to keep authenticity in my work. It's just an internal momentum.
