ACE Forums and Labyrinth Aquarium Species Article Competition


Andrew

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Ged and I have come up with an idea for a new competition. We really wanted it to be constructive and educational - and fun - so here it is:

ACE Forums and Labyrinth Aquarium Species Article Comp...

We'd like as many people as possible to get involved - so whether you think you're a brilliant author or not - we want submissions!

From now, until September 7th, we will accept articles about your favourite cichlid species. It does not matter which species it is - all you have to do is write about it and tell us everything you think we want to know about it. We will be looking particularly for the following points:

* Correct, current scientific name.

* Synonyms.

* Geographical distribution.

* Maximum size.

* Conspecific and heterospecific temperament.

* Housing requirements.

* Water parameters.

* Recommended husbandry.

* Additional notes, including your own experiences.

Who is this open to?

This is available to every single member of ACE Forums, except me, Admins and members overseas (simply because of the nature of the prizes).

What are the prizes?

1st Prize: $150.00 Labyrinth Aquarium Voucher

2nd Prize:$100.00 Labyrinth Aquarium Voucher

3rd Prize: $50.00 Labyrinth Aquarium Voucher

And don't worry if you are interstate, because we can always ship!

How will the winners be decided?

The winners will be decided in collaboration with the Mod and Admin Team and myself. Winning submissions will be featured on ACE Forums and on the Labyrinth Aquarium FB page.

Send your submissions to: labyrinthaquarium@gmail.com They will then be forwarded to all members of the Mod and Admin Team for review.

Entries close strictly at 23:59 on 7th August, 2014. The winners will be announced shortly after!!

We are really looking forward to everything YOU want to tell us about YOUR fish!

Andrew.

Andrew thank you for proposing and announcing the competition. It is a fantastic initiative and one that will be of great benefit to current and future members.

I really like the link to http://www.seriouslyfish.com/ articles and that they are referenced to allow members to know where they can do some additional reading.

There are some samples of species articles that have been done by members on the ACE Forums Pages.

Thanks for those that have submitted articles to Andrew.

I can now announce the winners of the inaugural Labyrinth Species Article.

The prize has been split between Dougy91 and Intangcity.

Doug provided a very insightful article on Pundamilia nyererei with an outstanding photo. Matt's article was on Aulonocranus dewindti and also included some excellent photos and reflections on keeping this species.

Doug and Matt can contact Andrew at Labyrinth to organise to each spend their $150 prize.

I will post up their articles once I return from Darwin.

Thanks to Andrew for organising this competition.

ive got currently a colony of 23 dewindti growing from imported and locally bred parents i hope to keep the species going for as long as i can and from what i hear about new import laws coming into affect im going to do my best to keep them surviving as they may not be allowable imports.just have to wait and see.
