Re: Live from the ACA in Washington DC!!
Kingdom Come Discus Haven (Kraig) has IMO the most beautiful one. Top quality shirt. Gorgeous graphics. The BIDKA ones are of excellent quialty. They even have sizes for diminutive people like me! I don't have a Simlpy one so I cannot comment on them. The NADA ones aren't much. Seek and you shall find.
When I go out casual but tasteful I wear Kraig's. It's like wearing a piece of art.

See the problem with always just using the new posts button Skip? You've got to explore a little more. :)

I was wearing the SimplyDiscus T-shirt, so they sort of figured we were headed to the Crown Plaza. Great meeting you guys, and the rest of the NADA crew at the table on the 4th floor, where EVERYBODY had to pass in order to get to the dinner. Good placement indeed.
The talk by Ken Davis was excellent, in my opinion. He displayed several maps of the Amazon basin, from Bolivia, Peru, Colombia and Ecuador down through Brazil, and spoke about the geographical influences on the fish. He went into genetic markers for the fish, arguing that there really aren't different species of discus, just one discus with different colorations. It's great to listen to well informed discus people, it's too bad that he's moved away from keeping them (his home water source is now too alkaline, and so he's moved into other cichlids).
Good to see Hans there, doing what he does for the kids ( and us old kids, too). Thanks, Hans. Great show, Pat! You guys rock.
I too am looking forward to the Atlanta show next June. We've never been there, so it will be a great excuse to make more friends and learn more about the fish.

Re: Live from the ACA in Washington DC!!
I will bring more of those to Atlanta. I only had the one batch for the Dallas show. All were freebies I used to get my name out there. Liz I am so glad you are still getting good use out of the shirts.
Re: Live from the ACA in Washington DC!!
Now that I am well fed and rested .....LOL
Did everyone at the show go to the kids competition? You want to talk about high energy great stuff, it was there.
If you didn't know about it you really missed out. It was the brain child of our very own Discus Hans. I don't know all of the manufacturers that participated, but maybe Hans can fill that part in. Anyway he arranged to have 20 complete 20 gallon setup donated. These were the nice all one unit kinds of deals where it had the filter and light all built in. The kids got to pick their own gravel, plants, rocks, etc to go in their tanks. We then divided the fish up among the kids. The kids were thrilled. The contest was setup so that the best tank would be declared the winner and that child would win the tank and everything in it. Of course that is where the problem occurred.... The judges could not decide which tank was the best so all 20 were declared the winner. Now you want to alk about some happy, happy kids. Anyway it was a great thing to see.
Great job Hans.
