ACA 2009 (Warning crazy load warning)

[ikevi]

The biggest problem was how hard the water was. (In Atlanta we have ~6.5 ph no KH/GH, which is what the amarillo was used too... and then he got tossed in their.) Hopefully he made it back to Ken's fine.

And this is the last of it. These last ones I had to rush. (Way too much stuff to do on Sat... Next ACA I doubt I am going to try to take photos of every fish.

Yep, and oddly it didn't even place if I remember right. It was interesting to tale some of the judges afterwards and listen to some of their reasoning. But never found the judges for that class.

VIVA LA CRENICICHLA!!!!

Jon and Dan represented well!

Bummer the Crenicichla sp. 'tapajos II' aka sp. 'cobra' wasn't showing her full colors. The sp. 'tapajos I' made up for it though!

Were they certain that cincta was female? LoL

Awesomely done mate! Took four pages, but you got to the awesome fish finally! hahaha

Ummm....they do. Last year was Atlanta, this year was Cincy. Year before that was California....San Fran? And before that one Ft. Worth.

Not sure where next years will be. Hopefully St. Louis! Although I think they were talkin Denver maybe?
