My Cuipeua got award in fish show!

Hi everyone,

We have a quite active aquarium society here in Southeast Louisiana (SELAS). Today they had their second Fish Show and Auction:

It was a small event with four categories: New World, Old World, Catfish and Other. I brought one of my Wild Cuipeuas to the show:

He was quite dark with all the stress of the transportation, but still showing his nice striations. He received the People's Choice Award:

The New World Award went to a small Pigeon Blood:

The judges did not like my Cuipeua but the people did! Award came with $50 in cash and $50 in gift cards. One day I will come to NADA :)

Congrats Mauro, I would say the people have better judgement then the judges lol :D
Pat

Congratulations. I tend to agree with Pat. Hope you make it to the NADA Discus Show

I third Pat's opinion.

I'm with "the people" here & there also!

I agree with others here and I have a pigeon!
Patty

Thank you, everyone. Good to see the experts here agree with the will of the people at the fish show :)

Power to the people! Well done Mauro

That's a nice wild Mauro !!
