Thx. Ray! As you know the Asfraci won Best of Show last July in Cincy! the pic is sorta weird - taken at an angle that makes him look foreshortened, he's about 13" now - looks better than @ the show...
The Marmorata is really looking good - a real stunner we plan to show next year! She is a little shy, we hope she gets some color as she matures....
You're lucky Jon!!! I don't think my female lent will be big enough and colored up all the way to be in the show. Male might be, but I'd rather take the female. ONE more year, then I'll start bringin on the competition! 
Make you work for those trophies!

Jeremy ~ every year you say the same thing, that you're bringing a beautiful pike to show at the ACA convention. We've yet to see you bring ANY showfish, maybe in 2011?
Your lenticulatas are really NICE !! you should enter one next summer in Milwaukee. We've been 1st in the Pike class the last six years running and have swept that class (1st, 2nd & 3rd) three times! Some competition would be Great! good for the hobby and more promotion for the best cichlids - CRENICICHLA !!!!
We work really hard taking care of ALL our showfish and earn the trophies that we win. It was a major deal for us winning Best in Show last summer, I'm proud of my wife's fishkeeping skills and enthusiasm. Take care, have a great new year!
I wish it wasn't such a PITA (and expensive) to cross the border with fish. . . I would have a GREAT chance in Milwaukee with my lents haha
You have to have fish in order to enter them. This whole moving crap kinda puts a dampener on your show fish ya know? Not to mention financials. Glad you are able to afford it year after year. Would be nice to be able to even make one again.
