Re: 2012 NADA Convention Show Challenge
That's somewhat of an unfair question. It's like asking to be evaluated by experts before you take the risk of showing. Use your eye and risk it. What's the harm? If you don't win you won't be disgraced. Most all of the fish entered don't win. Think of it as I do; a tiny contribution to the betterment of the hobby and a huge learning experience.

Re: 2012 NADA Convention Show Challenge
Just posted this on the NADA thread.
Anyone can import fish here in the US. Just takes a $100.00. I know first hand Asian breeders will sell fish to anyone who has the funds.
Also I only can think of one professional hatchery in the US where there is breeding on a large scale and I am not sure how large of a scale Peter is breeding now. Most of the others import, some just don't tell. There is no way one could survive breeding discus here in the states these days.
Sounds like it is too complex and I understand the reasoning behind it. I was hoping to breed some wilds and enter but why complicate matters. I would just like to see this thing happen and if small time importers (I brought in one shipment last year), like me can't compete well so be it.KraigComment

Re: 2012 NADA Convention Show Challenge
I am sorry but I will say it anyways, I never cared for the university section. I had a beautiful discus that even discus hans said was show worthy and the people of the university shot it down. They did not like the angle of the picture I submitted. Oh, wait that is right the university goes by photos. I said it then and I still stand behind my words - looking at a live fish and then taking a still photo of it are two different things. Do not let someone judging a photo stop you from entering the contest, if you do you will never winI have 40 peafowl, 2 horses, 10 N. goats, 2 Emu, lots of chickens, ducks and geese, 6 dogs and a cat LOL! Discus coming again soon!Comment

Sound a little bitter, hexed. It doesn't take a rocket scientist or a brain surgeon to know that looking at a real fish vs. a photo would be the way to go. That is why good pics are vital. Which fish was yours. I'd be happy to look at it. Remember, sometimes things are a bit rushed. We have jobs and a life to take care of as well as try and do you a favor and tell you about your fish. It is all in fun, remember.

Re: 2012 NADA Convention Show Challenge
hexed,
I just went through all 28 pages of discus in the U and I only saw one by you and it got good scores from the 3 judges that scored it. Did I miss one? That would be possible. It is late and I am tired. Or, did you delete it? You have me confused now.
