    ***REVISED****Contest Idea.want to Win $$$

    Hello all,

    I have an idea for a contest. I'm willing to put up $100 out of my pocket if there is enough interest. Its a "Last Man Standing Contest" of sorts and incredibly easy to play. I bet most of you have the requirements already at hand... You need discus and a way to take their Pictures and post them. Its that Simple. My proposal is to start with a 1 month contest. If it works out , I may go longer and up the prize on another one.

    What you need to do would be to post a picture of your discus each day in a special section we set up.. You will start a thread telling about your tank, and you post a picture a day from the tank. You can take out multiple threads if you have multiple tanks to up your odds of winning. The picture must be from the same tank. If you miss a day for any reason, you are out and the thread will get closed. At the end of the month, we will draw the winner from who is left.

    I know theres a ton of you that log in or read as guests everyday anyway, and, a pic and a post takes only minutes. Heres a chance to have some fun, show off your tanks and possibly win $100 CASH. Anyone thats a member can participate even outside the USA if you can receive Paypals I can get you the prize.

    Before I do this though I want to see what kind of interest there is before I put up $100. Sound off if you guys are interested and would participate. I will decide by this weekend if the contest is worth running..

    Thanks,
    al

        I'm down, retired and home every day looking at my tank, it's my big screen TV!

          This is great! I'm currently trying to artificially raise discus from eggs. I may have a hatch tonight, I never raised them artificially, just going off with what I read online. I can start a thread from Day 1 they hatch (Hopefully they survive)

            I'm new here and new to discus. I have kept fish for over 20 years mostly large Central American cichlids. I will be receiving my first batch of babies to grow out tomorrow. It would be a great opportunity to start making posts other than this one. So, I'm in too.

              Sounds like some good interest so far.

                Does taking a picture of an empty grow tank count?

                  If I get my fish before this goes live, I'm in...any special instructions? Like do the images need to be date/time stamped to match the day it's posted?

                    When will the dead line to enter be? I'll be getting in some new Discus in the first of June I suppose I could start now with a pair that I'm afraid will disappoint me, but nobody wants to follow a depressing thread.

                        I don't think it would be depressing. I know I could learn a lot from the ups and the downs, if there are any. I'm really nervous, lol. If the contest is a go then I figure it's a great way to break the ice so to speak.

                          I'm currently grooming a nice batch and hopefully would compete for next NADA show.
