What are you entering Bruce?

[TheDiscusKid]

Hey Jeff, I will probably have about 9-10 entries. Here is a preview of some of them. The rest were hard to take a picture of lol fast little guys.

This one here, is one I have been working on for awhile. This is Thorichthys Aureum Blue. About 8 inches. I was fascinated with the long streamers it has grown. :)

[TheDiscusKid]

This one here is a Paratroplus Menarambo Pinstripe Damba. Extremely rare cichlid that I got from a friend. They are from Madagascar and totally extinct in the wild. This one took first place at the 2003 ACA Convention in Cinci. :)

[TheDiscusKid]

Another one that I grew up. My only discus entry. About 6 1/2 inches. San merah X Alencer. :)
