YeW Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Alan - The fish and the show were good - there was 65 ish tanks there and quite a few ppl, particularly early on. I dont have any photos but other members Link and Griffin do! Hopefully they'll post some for us . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 The show was very quiet when I went there in the afternoon. It was a good chance to have a look at all the americans that people talk about. Luckily I didn't take along the convicts that you told me to bring I had a feeling you wouldn't turn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Tank Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 I must say the show was a credit to all the organisers, and the speciemens on display were awesome and a credit to the owners. I felt that it was an outstanding opportunity to push and educate about americans . But the one thing that kept slapping me in the face was the lack of information about the fish that i didnt know about. As all bar two 3fter's of mine are african. Maybe for the next show we as a club could compile a photocopied booklet in much the same size and format as our cichlid circular and charge at cost plus a couple of bucks tacted on for the club. As members and breeders of these fish we need to support the organisers and bring our fish along. And if we are worried about our breeders getting ill or heaven forbid dying we need to keep and grow their fry up as show speciemens and leave our breeders in our tanks at home. All in all though the show was fantastic and i would like to put my hand up to help organise the next one. Memphis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The cichlid Man Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Wish i could have been there but i was working. I was told that the cichlid society had some goodies donated to them from Lams @ Parramatta. Did anyone get the eheim echo filter and the shwarzer air pumps.

Cichlids_au Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Yes they did make a donation, as did St George Aquarium Trans Aquarium Age of Aquariums Aquatic Wholesalers Riverside Aquarium Auburn Aquarium Nijimi Seachem and Majestic Aquarium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The cichlid Man Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Cool mark, Did anyone get the filter and the pumps. Regards, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierced Soul Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 All the prizes were won, so yes someone got the pumps, filters, dvd's, food, and the plethora of other prizes on offer. There was a good display of Americans there, a shame that more people didnt attend as it was a good chance to see some beautiful fish, especially some of the rarer ones - there were a few there I hadnt actually seen before. On Memphis Tank's post, maybe next time we could make little index cards about what category the fish fell into (south, central, dwarf, earth eater), max size, temperement (ok that can be dicey), location, breeding type and so forth. all in all it was a good day and run well by the organisers and the grand champion was a stunning specimen - the fish not the man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 What fish did win each category? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cichlids_au Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I think Link2hell won the ehiem Ben. There was a mass of prizes and Aquatic Wholesalers donated a box of small tins of food to give out to everyone that didn't win anything. I got one Perhaps our El Presidente could post all the winners here. When I get the images and results I will put them on the NSWCS website.
