the fish is dyed right?

I will try to ID, I will take my computer in if I have time tomorrow... I am not going to let them pull me in to do work the whole time again. I have no new pictures though I got a great deal. (In my opinion. 80 bucks 1 7-8 inch colored up male, 3 female Exochochromis anagenys). (There are a whole lot more fish... I just did the top row and that wasn't even all the top row.)

The controversy... it is a hybrid. He was told it was a red severum when he bought it... found it that it wasn't when he brought it in for the show. People either go over and try to buy it from him or they give him evil looks. The fish will likely be D.Q. from judging but I have to confess it is a nice looking fish and just for looks I would have enjoyed having one.

Yea, hybrids are a bit of a controversy now with cichlids. Cichlid breeders here are divided on that topic.

I just wanted to show you the best of show and also the peoples choice. He was raised in a 10 by himself and was always showing off. Hopefully my male will look like him in another year or two. (So far things are looking good.) I have a lot more photos... sadly I didn't really get all the names of the pictures I posted already. I likely can get at them and in fact I can likely get at some much better photos. I am just posting my own right now and I only use an canon SD800.

Yea, I can see why he won!

Wow, very beautiful fish.

ikevi

Yep we had the auction. Fish started off high then dropped to crazy low prices. I sadly didn't have my camera.

I messed up the posting on these the first time. This time I am not double posting. I have ~20 labeled. It takes an annoying amount of time.

Last of my pictures... I encourage anyone to post pictures of the auction. I forgot my camera today.

Sorry don't know all my discus off hand... and they were just grouped under a few names

Champsochromis caeruleus aka “Trout Cichlid”

Just a for fun picture. (I obviously liked the fish...)

And that is it. I don't really plan on doing much in photoshop. I can tell you all the fish in this post if you want me too. (I think I have shots of their names... sort of forgot to do that the first time I was snapping pictures.)

Butterfly

when you have time the names would be terrific. Thanks for all the work you did for us I know you've been keeping a couple of other sites updated on the convention as well as us. Just wanted you to know we appreciated it. Thanks again.
