Ok everyone, get out those pictures! We've gotten the go ahead for another tropical fish photo competition.

Just like last time, this competition is just for fun, and there will be no prizes awarded other than the satisfaction of having everyone admire your fish.

Just a few rules: you must be an active member of this board, it must be your fish, and only one submission will be accepted from each user.

Photos will be accepted, submitted directly into this post with the type of fish in the reply, until Saturday, March 11th; to give everyone time to get their best pic. Voting will then start Sunday, March 12th; in heats if necessary.

to everyone! And thanks to Koko, and all the KGW Mods and Helpers.

Im going to enter this one of my female koi angel trying to blend in with the background

Can I submit bettas?

hmm, good question. they are tropical fish, so i would think yes. but there's also already a betta competition.

personally i guess if it's the only type of tropical fish you have, then you should be able to submit it for voting. but i guess we'll leave it up to sandy and the mods, see what they think 'bout it.

also, i'm working on a different kind of voting that would hopefully eliminate the need for heats. i'm gonna make a poll using html and another website to where all the pics will be entered into one voting session, so that the fish with the most votes wins, regardless of what heat it would happen to get put into. it'll still be in a post here on the board, you just click which pic you like the best. it's all anonymous, and you'll still be able to see running totals just like the polls here. i've got it pretty much done, so if there are no objections to doing it that way...

I dont want to be a party pooper but bettas have their own competition and it wouldnt seem right if a betta won. Dont you have a plec Riz that you could enter or white cloud minnows?

oo! ill get mine up as soon as im off the mac

thanks sandy. yea, after i got off last night i was thinking maybe we could seperate betta pics from the rest (since they have their own comp) and vote on them seperately, but then i realized koko already has that set up.

Ahhhh plecs course I got them! Thx Sands!

Oh I almost forgot my panda cories they should be ok I think

Corys welcome too, in fact anything other than goldfish and bettas, even Marine fish

maybe we could set up a different competition for the marine fish. i don't know if most tropical fish could compete w/ the colors and diversity of marine fish.

i could set that one up to, again if no one over there wants to do it. just use the same thing i'm gonna use for the voting over here. what do ya think sandy? same w/ snails and crustaceans, i think it's too different.

If you get any one sending pics of marines then see how that goes as you would need at least 4 pics to make it worthwhile and maybe allow people to enter a fish from a marine tank and one from a tropical. Same with a snail comp but maybe do that a couple of months after this one as a lot of people have snails of one type or another.

yea, that's what i was thinkin, maybe stagger them, do the snail one a little later to keep the fun going so i'll make a post in the marine section see if anyone there is interested in participating in our just for fun competition? if there's enough interest, make it so the voting for the marine starts as this one's ending or something.

Ok, see how it goes.

Lumos, my Krib

help! how do i post a photo?

use a photo hosting site such as www.photobucket.com and then from their browse your computer until you find the pic you want then upload it. Once done, you right click to copy the bottom tag and then in a post here you left click it to paste.

sandy can fri upload photos because i no they can not do a avatar or is it ok if they host the pic first

Oh wow another competition. I'll pass on this one as I won the last one I'll vote for the winner this time. And next time I'll enter. Good luck all.

Tink, Lumos is so pretty

eh, from the looks of it we may need a pic from you barb

c'mon, there's gotta me more than 3 people entering the competition this time around!

Oh if only this competition was a week later! I still have the same 2 black neons and its kind of hard to get different types of pics with them.

when are ya getting ur new fish kissy?

Probably saturday or sunday.

oh, i set the deadline for march 11th, to make sure everyone had a chance to enter. so that leaves ya plenty of time to snap a few pics of ur new fish.

Oh okay, I thought the 12th was this saturday for some reason I'll get a pic when I get my fishie

thanks Barb

Wow what an interesting fish franky is. He looks like something from the deep sea with that big mouth. What does he eat?

And I guess I'll take a picture and add it. But promise me... if you get enough entries I'd rather sit out and let someone else take the prize and I'll go into the next contest.

Barb

Here's my entry:

My Panda Corydora (and his reflection )

he eates live brine shrimp and live black wormshe has some big teeth but they are used more for a rake then biting pulls water in his mouth teeth catch the food.then sucks the food in

nice pics guys
lovely fishie monkeyknukles

cool dragonfish monkeyknuckles. when i saw the name on a card in my old lfs i thought about getting one too, but then i found out an arowana would outgrow any tank i'd have in the near future.

great entries so far, keep 'em coming! and can't wait for a pic barb, you gotta defend your title plus, doesn't look like we're gonna have too many, but i promise.

one more week. voting starts sunday. there's gotta be more people who think they've got the best tropical fish!

Post in the chatterbox as well Justin, as most non tropical keepers that do have plecs or cory might not look in this section but go to chatterbox.

I am going to enter a picture, but I can't seem to get photobucket to work. I will try again tomorrow

I don't have many tropicals, certainly not colourful ones, but I think my little dojo is a cutie

Would a dojo be applicable, though? I guess he isn't truly a tropical

I just read the post in "compatible fish" and see that dojos are acceptable, so here is my picture. This is a picture of Pussywillow, my dojo loach

here is Pete my bristlenose...although i think he might really be a she

i will have a pic of one of my black widow teta some time this week

Hey Justin, is the deadline saturday night or morning? I was looking for the camera and I even called my mom at work to ask where it was she came home and looked around, and then came to the conclusion she left it in her desk at wor They are leaving for their ski trip tomorrow so they will get the camera for the trip, but on the way to the airport...My dad's camera was too complicated too. My grandma is going to come babysit us for the entire time and I think she's got a digital camera, so maybe I can get a decent photo taken and loaded by tomorrow night? Please?

My mom found her camera lodged and hidden in her briefcase, so here's my photo:


Can you guys find all three fish?

Yes, I love the little guy peeking out under the leaf

it looks like hes hidding from hes missis

oh no i missed the deadline maybe next time

well, the deadline was gonna be last night at midnight, but my mom came up yesterday and stayed the night, so i didn't get a chance to set up the voting thing.

so if anyone has any pics on their computer they'd like to enter last minute, we'll say til tonight; i'll put 'em in a voting thing later tonight and voting can start tomorrow.

are African dwarf frogs enterable?

i'm gonna say yes. any aquatic animal that can thrive in warm waters that can't be entered into one of koko's competitions or one that i'm going to run later (marine or crustacean).

hmmm a decision.. i think im going to enter one of my bronze corys, he/shes is so sparkly in this pic! The frog pic was a bit dull..



oh no its still so small..

lol sorry, theres only so many times you can edit a post and photobucket is just not cooperating!!

ok hope this works..




NOOOOOO!!! $%&*!!!! ok i give up.. sorry its to tiny

Edit aggaaaaain: tried to use a link but its still small on there.. tried doing screen capture still small.. i dont get it..
