We have one of these guys too never new they were such a hot comodity he was free with a multi tank set up we got about 8 inches now how do they judge these fish.

They break the fish down into categories, catfish, plecos, cichlids etc. and judge them between other similair species. Participants isolate the fish for a few weeks leading up to the show to make sure their fins are perfect. Then people register their fish in the show so a tank is reserved for their fish. You bring the fish in a few days before judging so by the time the judges see the fish its settled in and used to its new enviroment. Also you fast the fish before coming to the show and when judges or anyone approaches the tank the fish will be begging for food and swimming back and forth. You should check one out if you get a chance, its pretty cool if you are into fish.
OH I almost forgot....
