Welcome!
To the First Annual (Official) Gaia Fish Show!
To all who wish to participate, good luck! There are two many categories, with a few smaller categories within. First and second prizes will be award to the best in show of both categories, and honorable mentions will also be handed out, as well as a grand prize. Without further ado, here are the categories!

Coldwater

Ornamental*
Aquarium*


Warmwater

Livebearers
Danios/Barbs
Cichlids
Tetras
Catfish
Miscellaneous


Fish will be rated on a 20 point scale, 5 points being the best in each of the given categories:

Colour- Self explanatory.
Overall Appearance- The general body formation of the fish. *Is it deformed? Missing scales?*
Finnage- How well the fish carries itself and what shapes its fins are in.
Apparent Activity- Whether or not the fish looks as if it is moving/active. *Lying on its side or "sleeping" is not a good thing!*

Judging will be scored by all members of the thread, and we will wait for all pictures to be submitted before it begins. The deadline for pictures is JUNE 30.

Please submit pictures (multiple pictures may be entered but only one will be judged) by PMing me, supplying your username, what category and subcategory the fish fits into, the fish's latin name, common name, the name you gave it, and finally, the variety(if there is one). All fish will be judged from the side unless otherwise noted. Good luck!

*The ornamental category is reserved for members of the goldfish and koi families, and both side and top pictures must be supplied. The aquarium category refers to all other fish that do not fit the ornamental category.
