My name is Jonathan, AKA TheFishGuy/MonsterFishRescue, some of you may know that I'm on the board of the Ohio Cichlid Association. A topic was brought up at one of our board meetings... Were POSSIBLY thinking of having a hybrid class at the O.C.A. Extravaganza. I wanted yo get your thoughts on simply having a FH Class. I think a general hybrid class would leave too many variables. In the past we've not allowed hybrids and this might never materialize but I wanted to get the subject out there to see what you guys might think about it. We would not consider torture breeds though...

Here's a link to our website:

Please post your opinions.... I already know the "purists" opinion.... I thought I'd like to get some FH peoples opinions.

Would you attend the three day show?
Would you enter a FH in the show?
Who would you get to judge the FH portion of the show?
 
If I were close enough to Ohio to show fish I sure would. I would also attend. As for judging, there are some lists of disierable traits to look for in FHs, that could make almost anyone a potential judge in a pinch. Thanks for putting forth the effort to include FH into your show, they are truely a beautiful fish.
I am hoping the brain trust here on the boards steps up with some answers here for you.
 
What are the traits you speak of? I can only think of flower line and Kok size beyond the obvious over all health of the fish...

I do realize there's quite a few different Fh out there too. I had one I rescued a while back, she was a mean sucker! LOL Very pretty though!

Sorry though this was the ACA convention, long drive for me since I am in Ca heh.

If you need help or have questions on judging I can put you in contact with an Indonesia FH judge so you have some standards to build off. Glad to see your club considering this!
