    Updates were slow today, sorry. Larry, Chad, and John roped me into helping build and setup the show tanks starting at 8am. LOL jk. But that's what we did all day. Folks let me just say I've never seen a group of more incredible fish in one single place. Florida Discus came out BIG with some really really nice ones, Mike Beals of course brought his best, Hans added to the mix, and then you have all of the individuals entering top quality fish....WOW is all I can say. You will see the fish soon, just wow. Some of them literally made multiple jaws drop. Talk about tough competition, there is no clear cut winner like you might see in most shows....this will be a tough one lol.

    Going to take pictures of the setup, no individual fish shots yet. I want them to settle in before I go flashing their eyes. I should be able to get them up tonight, might be late though.

    Loving it so far, everyone who couldn't/didn't come is missing out!

    Very quick dirty shots taken tonight. No flash was used, giving the fish at least a day to settle in (which most seem to be doing outstanding already). So these were just taken with the ambient light. Colors may be a bit off on the fish but you get the general idea.

    Showroom and where vendor tables are.





    SOME of the fish. Picked out random fish.

    The sadness just got a lot worse.. That looks so unbelievably fun. I never find locals or businesses around me that are so into discus like this community. To be in one place with such a great group of fellow discus lovers, discus paraphernalia, and show fish would truly be a memorable experience. I hope you all have a great time and maybe next year I can link the faces with usernames. If I'm lucky it'll be on the west cost next time

    ps Matt great job with the photos, I look forward to lots more.
