[Gr8KarmaSF]

Despite my failed attempt to change POTM (see link below) and asking members to enter half way into the month we still had lots of great entries so I wanted to thank everybody who entered!!!

http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/announcement.php?f=76

Good luck!!!

My prediction for this months winner? Toss up between 7 and 24. Both stunning pics!

[Gr8KarmaSF]

First bump of many!!!

:D

Please feel free to bump this thread, lets get over 400 votes people!

[BIGMONSTER]

VOTE FOR 2

[AttackFish]

My votes in.
;)

[Tongue33]

Mine too :D

[elindra]

I like 7, 21, 24, 27
Which should I vote for :x

And I'm kinda glad I didn't wait till May to enter POTM because the standards are higher again!!!

[Angler]

7 is the lucky number!

[elindra]

7 is the lucky number!

It is. I voted for 7 too :D

[darthbravo]

#7 is amazing! Got my vote

[headbanger_jib]

the syno
the TSN(i think i know whose fish is that) ;)
but liked the stone fish more and also the poly in 7
need more time to decide

[tropheus]

i think the poly crew take it this month , well done guys all are great , i voted number 7 , exultant photography skills , although i did like the Oscar with the fry in mouth if the picture was clearer and more in focus could of been a real stunner , still practicing myself hopefully i will have something worthy next month but the competition is getting better and better each month

[iORi]

the pictures this month are very nice. a lot of good ones :P

[hopwood83]

this might be a dumb question but what kind of fish is 24

[TeChris]

Its a baby aro

[K626]

A baby black right? It looks like it. Nice pic.

[K626]

The oscar has a goldfish in it's mouth.......lol

[Gr8KarmaSF]

this might be a dumb question but what kind of fish is 24

Baby black aro, eventually its color will fade.

[doozie01]

I can't believe it's already freakin May!! Great pics everyone! Always a hard choice.

[Gr8KarmaSF]

I would love to hear the story behind 17...

That goldfish is massive and wildcaught perhaps?!?!? (probably farmed if anything?)

[Onion01]

I voted 7, but 24 and 17 were great. BTW, that is a koi, not a goldfish gr8 ;)

[Dan Feller]

Great photos this month! I like #'s 4, 8, 27, and 30.

[pinkdolphin_113]

number 19 is probably the best photo in the world :grinyes: lol
number 7 does look amazing, but then again it looks like it has been photoshopped to the maximum!
whats happened in number 14?? the oscar has eaten a goldfish?
what fish does that eye belong to in number 16?
i love the baby black aro in number 24! its such a shame the colours dont stay there :cry:thats got my vote!

[K626]

Yeah, it had a goldfish in it's mouth and I couldn't resist taking a pic of it. It was hard to get it to focus on the fish with all the scales floating around in the tank. LOL!

[BIGgourami]

very close between 7 and 21, my congrats to both contestants

[fourty2]

I liked 27,a happy looking cat :)

[blazin_dragon18]

wut kinda fish is it in the 1st pic? it's not a pearsei rite?

and doesn't the guy in the white shirt luks like one of "the others" from lost?

http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=196000&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1208560955

[JayK1320]

[Adam-011]

He is breast feeding that Koi.

[ersico]

toadfish rock!!!!! vote for 38!!!

[Miles]

Wow some stiff competition.. Don't see Paratilapia eggs very much, pretty rare sight.. I vote for #4 :D

[Kobeclone]

the sea turtle got my vote...

Tha turtle doesn't happen to be in Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach does it?

[Adhlc]

Wow, this is tougher thanusual, and it's never easy. Ultimately I pick the one that I'd like to have as my background, in this case it was 25.

[goose_uk]

Hey,

Please could someone tell me what the fish is in number 4?

G

[BaTsBR]

difficult this month........
vote done

[Hot Slime]

Wow this month got some really nice pics. I like 32, 25, 21, and 7. So MANy to chose from!

[~THEO~]

Voted.

[channarox]

7 got my vote.

[drdpc]

wow, very nice pics!

[Muske]

Number 17 for me....

[japes]

Wasn't this month meant to be like Bottom Dwellers and Marine or something? Didn't submit anything because of the new rules that I thought had been implemented.

7 got my vote, hard to tell how edited it is though, couldn't be bothered opening it up in Photoshop ;)

[K626]

I didn't edit mine at all, I didn't think we were allowed to.

It was cancelled due to lack of entries.:irked:

There were numerous threads posted regarding resending in pics...

[roseriel]

[Gr8KarmaSF]

Wow some stiff competition.. Don't see Paratilapia eggs very much, pretty rare sight.. I vote for #4 :D

Rare sight indeed but photo quality wise...:uhoh::raspberry:grinyes::nilly::grinno:

I don't troll the POTM section, sorry :p

[Gr8KarmaSF]

I don't troll the POTM section, sorry :p

Well it was only in the POTM forum, announcement page, MFK welcome page, and with a thread that was bumped 1000 times by myself and other members.

Guess everybody else saw it since they entered, but no matter, perhaps next month...
:nilly:

:nilly:

I don't check the main part of the website nor the announcement section, so I'm not really suprised I missed it, always next month. Haven't really had any nice shots this month anyway as I've been busy building ****, which will culminate in completely tomorrow!

I'll have an entry for next month, I promise :p

[snake513]

7 no contest

[puffcrusader696]

14 is pretty kewl... looking in to a death of a goldfish that happened seconds after the shudder... lol

[elting44]

[KenyanSandBoa]

What kind of cat is pic 28?

Looks like a featherfin to me (Synodontis eupterus).


My vote is in...#7...that's a great pic.

[Gr8KarmaSF]

Almost at the 300 mark!

[necrocanis]

I voted #27, but at least it wasn't the only vote this time!!!! lol. There are so many great pics. Not sure that the photo that has the 5th highest spot right now deserves that many votes, but oh well. I guess people like seeing that sort of thing lol. So many good photos. Should have entered before now. Everyone's photo skills have come a long way!!!! woot!!!

[GobyMaster]

I voted #7

[Gr8KarmaSF]

bump!

[Gr8KarmaSF]

2 da top!

[Dan Feller]

Gr8Karma, you are the King of bumpage!

[Gr8KarmaSF]

Yes!!!

Over 300!!!!

[Earlton]

well a few things... i can't see half the pics but i did however get to see both 7 and 21. Honorable mention goes to 14 for the well timed shot but the dead minnow in the background takes abit away from the shot.. i wont judge how clear the photo was cuz some of us just can't afford a quality camera but props on that cool action shot.

[carolinafishkeeper]

vote double trey

[Gr8KarmaSF]

votey vote vote!

[Gr8KarmaSF]

my lovely little bumps, check it out!!!

[Wildzone]

Seven is simply incredible.

poly's :headbang2

[Gr8KarmaSF]

bump and grind baby!!!

[Gr8KarmaSF]

Lunch bump!!!!

[Gr8KarmaSF]

End of the work day bump...lol

[Ang]

7 is an obviouse choice.
21 is too

But i dont think #32 gets enough credit. Just because it doesnt have a black background doesnt mean it ist equally as good.

I like how the RD is totally flared and every scale is in focus. Plus he is centered just right.

[Sonsinator]

Love the Pic. No.7 =D Nice Caption =D
