Woah,Runitis whats your problem? I don't see anyone else with reliable shots next to tape, so why am i the only one who needs to follow this rule?
The pictures are the best I can get. originally the camera wouldnt even focus on the bichir because it was so tiny.
Tell me what do I gain from lying? its a friendly competition between ornate keepers, there is no prize and I have nothing to gain from lying. I feel that from the pictures posted SO FAR that I am getting the best growth rate. things change and its still very early days. I don't see why you have such a problem with me. maybe its jealosy, maybe its because you live in Winterpeg who knows.
1. The guidelines were, post a picture every week.
2. I'm not the only person that has been accused of exaggerating size, I already said my fish is only 3" its just that I've seen an inch in growth since I got it.
3. its a friendly contest, Until someone reaches the goal of 10" whats the point in trying to stage a difficult photo or stressing the fish out removing him from the tank to place him next to tape?
Not sure where you got the idea that I think i'm the best. far from it. I am just happy with the growth I've received so far. I wouldnt have to defend myself if people didn't launch verbal assaults at me. I've only debated with people who have provoked me so I am far from acting unreasonable.
This is hardly the guiness world records and I have been fully respectful of the rules of the thread. lighten up or I will have to take your attitude as extreme jealousy and be flattered by it.
