This was the one that I thought won. Then a hour later and after I had emailed Alex and told him it did win, I went down and my chin almost hit the floor when I saw it was the other one which won. Dick Au said the red in the fins, the stirations not being the same on each side and the fact that it seemed to be swimming a little funny kept it from winning. Thanks for the great pictures Pat. Oh, just so everyone knows, Bill from Inland upon looking at the pictures Alex sent me of the show fish he offered me noticed the show winner was not the fish Alex sent me a picture of. I am not complaining. Also, Chad reminded me on the way to his house to get the fish that I dropped the Red fish in the bag when I cut the bag open. I was so tired it didn't even register. Now I know why it was having swim bladder problems.
Kraig
I think someone asked me about the sex of Kraig's best of show......so I did offer to sex Kraig's two fishes for free....simply "Chop Chop Chop and the truth will be known...." Though Kaig agreed to my proposal...he did pause for a second or two before he replied.......ha! ha! ha! ha!......was he worried???....too expensive to chop and cut????.......
Hope you guys don't have the impression I'm a discus slayer....... In those days.....I had at least tens of thousands discus in my 1000 tanks hatchery....so chop chop....is just like making pork-chop!!!!

I had a discussion with Jim....the new Prisident, that in the mood of the NADA show 2012, I wish to further support NADA members and give a chance for other NADA members to own my books at a discounted price of 70USD per book.....but the minimum must be above a consolidation of a set of 20books (20 above; 40; 60). This will be a one-time offer and after that, revert to old price.
USD has dropped in foreign exchange and normal selling price could easily be above 110USD to 120USD. The exchange rate now is 1.25Sing to 1USD...
In fact the price of 60USD at the show was a steal...which is only 75 Singapore dollars.
The additional 10USD per book is for bulk postage. Normally postage plus book from Singapore to any individual would cost 118.70USD(individual postage would cost 39USD per book from Singapore while normal book price is 78.00USD)
Hope Jim will help for the benefit of members. I'm now left with 70 of my first book, Discus The Naked Truth and I don't think I'll be reprinting.
So guys...think about it and hope it works for you.
