Hi all Contestants

Though I am in the middle of shipping these fish out to everyone I want to take a moment to give some advice to all the contestants..

Once I ship you the fish they are yours to raise as you see fit..for better or for worse.

One thing I would highly advise all contestants to do is think along the lines of how you can maximize your fishes growth and development and minimize adding variables that will affect that growth and development.
Everything you do will have some form of effect on the fishes growth. Be careful to fully assess what the possible effects may be.

To that end I would strongly recommend that you NOT mix these contest fish with any other fish... A group of 6 was sent out for good social dynamics.... If you add additional stock to the tank these contest fish are in you will be adding one of those Variables that can adversely affect the group of contest fish.

Thats all I will advise from here out...please consider it.

Sincerely,
Al
