    if you have more then one spawn youd have to be a contestent twice right so you would have to have two entrys with different places to post updates. Sort of like in nascar one guy owns five raceteams but they are independent of each other he has 5 entries in the race or in this case competition. Even tho they have the same owner they all compete against each other. So if you have more then one group of fry in the contest you would need to enter it again different then the first group JMO ofcourse

    Dave, so you want one post per thread? as opposed to just going to the last post in the log thread. If you have multiple spawns in the contest that could be quite confusing I would think.

    I would just like to point out to all the contestants you should start a new thread with every up date so that its easier for judges and everyone else to go right to the update. It will be easier to see where every one is at from up date to up date.
    JMO And good luck to all who are participating!

    I will consider this very carefully Al. I do have an outlet for extra fry but you are right about extra commitment/tanks having more that one batch in the contest.

    Pat, Its easy to get burned out and over extend yourself (speaking from experience here ) be sure to leave yourself some breathing room.

    I know Al, would give me five fry/juvie tanks. I must be a lunatic but plenty of foundation stock for the first generation of strain development.

    HMMM>..I don't think its a problem Pat, as long as you document everything...Just remember its a commitment of another tank to grow out to adult as they would need to be separate.

    Thats fine Pete....and that date may actually get bumped out a few weeks if we need to.I really want as many participants as possible.....so far its looking great... 6 contestants enrolled and 3 more on the way.

    Put the word out everyone, we need as many Hobbysists in this as we can get and from around the world if we can! The glove is down, the hobbyists are entering the arena...Who will take home the coveted honor of winning this years competition? This is truly the "Discus" olympics

    Thanks Pat.I'll go by that unless I hear otherwise
    Mine seem to have went on a egg laying vacation, makes me nervous it takes a long time for them to come out of that.

    Ohhh crap i better crank up the fishy porn, I thought we had until the end of august and I was really hoping to get my WB successfully spawning by the enrollment end date. I guess I hopefully still have two more spawns theoretically but its getting close!!

    I think it was decided that August 15 was the deadline? do our Fry need to be dime size by August 15th in order to enter?
    Hi Pete, my understanding is free swimming by August 15.

    Al, please correct if needed.
