ACA Convention
- Thread starter Hadrian
- Start date
I wish I was going so I could see Vin Kutty's talk! I've had the opportunity to chat with him in person a couple of times and he is just an awesome guy!
Hey there Stone-Cutter!
most show fish will be in their tanks by tonite, judging is always Friday evening with results @ the banquet Saturday - - -
*MAY THE BEST FISH WIN* !!!! **
This is the first year in several we are not going. . . a 1700 mile road trip is just too far to be hauling our precious ShowFish! Air cargo is not an option with the Big Guys - too risky for irreplaceable prime specimens.
As many of you know, Dan Ye-Jennings has been a perennial contender specializing in central & south american cichlids, also some primo madagascar fish. We have won First Place in the crenicichla class seven years running. . . will be represented by some friends' entries this year, will see how they fare! - - - we'll miss seeing our cichlid friends this year, and all the incredible fish! It is always a great time at the ACA conventions, ENJOY !!! See you next year in INDY !
he is sp. Orinoco, got in a couple 3 months ago, the owner is one of my friends.
It is Sad to hear there are only 3 Crenicichla entries, we have at least six 'show quality' Pikes in our tanks. Oh well, we plan to be there next year in Indiana, only an eleven-hundred mile drive for us!
A male eh?
Out of curiousity, what sex are most of your show fish? Given that the females of a lot of species are more 'showy', I'm curious at the sexes of your show fish.

Correction - there were 4 Crenicichla entries !
Juan's Cr. sp. orinoco dwarf male won 1st in Class. We have a really nice brother in our tank.
Scott Arney's red-fin johanna was there, an atabapo II, and a lepidota.
Our ShowFish are both sexes - Crenicichla females are a little more 'showy' and out-going. Our male Tapajos I was an outstanding specimen, almost won Best of Show @ 2007 ACA Sacramento. So it all depends on the particular fish. A lot of our larger Central & South American cichlid Trophy winners are primo males. We have an incredible female H. temporalis with exotic finnage, and a super sweet psittacus sister. Some fish are special, we like to grow-out fish with potential and show the beauties to the world!
