There will be a fish competition nearby around next 2 days. I think I'm still new to the business.

Need opinion from more Discus experts if she gonna get any rank up in the event?

Bring it to the show. U have nothing to lose. Not sure what shows it is and what judges look for in the show. It's a nice fish. The red is really red. Are u feeding color enhancement food for the reds? Cuz its lil to much that it's taking over the face area. Shape looks to be good. Could be better but it's still good. Maybe put it in a tank with light colors so the black marking on the fins go away to make it look more clean before entering the show.

She's around 5.5 inches from lips to tail (not include tail fin) for the qualified of 4.5 inches to get in the fight.

But as your encouraging, I'll give her a try. If she's not doing fine I could just throw the towel and bring her home.

Pictures of contest will be collected to post soon

Her main appetite last 4 months are mostly my Aro's poop. (the Aro's eating nutrition enhance Cricket and Superworms *Non Artificial based*)

Could say that it's my first time that really go to some Aquariums contest fair. Only thing comes in my mind was "Why I don't do this earlier"

PS. Sorry for my lack of photography skill :( shopping mall is closing no time for tripod and remote control

I am no discus expert but I like 36 and 38.

Im also not just saying this but for reds I feel like yours has better colour than any on display, did you enter? If not, you should have!

I didn't know about pre event registration so... No my girl doesn't have a chance this time to do so.

And I think she needs more time training the behavior while in show tank alone, if she's possible to play at front glass with the judges or guess in the event and don't get sick she'd be more than a beautiful fish (that flat on the floor or hide behind the heater).

I like the tip white punk moehawk of #39 too
