Again Good Job JOE!

Yes great job Joe. And for those who dont know, Joe was the first American to place in any of the Duisburg shows so that should say something about his discus.

Joe,


tank#471 Dream X Golden Anaconda--Spotted category

should be #1 winner for spotted if I was the judge.....did they explain why this was not chosen ?

Shootingstar, Thanks!!!The fish did not show good color til a day after the judging and did not exhibit good demeanor despite my coaching! One of the judges critiqued the fish and said it would have probably placed had it's "attitude" been better. The fish was also young at 12 months and was smallish at 6 1/2 ", but even has spots in the ventral fins. I had high hopes for this fish, but ended up selling it there which helped me recoup some of the money spent to get there in the first place. I have another one I am grooming for Aquarama. As this past Duisburg was my first competition, I feel I learned alot about International Competition and it has only whetted my appetite. Joe
