FISH GROWING CONTEST!!!!

Post by sskruzr »

Here's the skinny on how to win $50 in gift certificates at our local fish stores, $25 from Seafari and $25 from World's Under Water. At the September meeting I will be handing out bags of (6) 1/2" or so Banded Eartheaters, guianacara sphenozona. I've got a mated pair in a 120g and around 100 or so babies in a 55. You will have these for 3 months and will be weighed at the December meeting. Denny has a way of determining the weight. So the person(s) fish that weigh the most, wins. Now there will be a $2 donation per bag to the club to participate.

If anybody that wants to participate, please PM or post to this thread. I will bring extra bags in case some last minute participants can enter.

Corey won't be at the September meeting, but I'll pick up the fish from him the night before. You will be able to obtain fish from him after the meeting once he gets back in town, but you will have lost that timesuper feeding the fry. Hope we have a good amount of participation. This can be a really fun event for us. Denny

You might want to bring bags or containers to take your fish home in.

Fish will be weighed at the Christmas party this Saturday at WUW. Haven't heard a lot of trash talk, so don't know how competitive the contest will be. Denny

Just making sure I understand, we only bring the biggest fish, there is no reason to bring the other five?

We will only weigh the single biggest. I suppose you could bring the rest if you didn't want them, and give them away or donate to WUW (if they're willing). Good luck. Denny
