Congrats to all winners! This years top 3 in each cat really got substance and elevated the local scene a few notches:)

Kudos to all in the club. First time I walked into the booth (judging day) I walked out again as I thought I went to the wrong place:D Just a poker table and empty shell....the last day I visited was completely different:

...gurus come down from mountain to man the booth...I overheard HYE explaining in detail how to care for a pleco and the basics to watch out for to a noobie at the booth. His patience was inspiring:)

...GSHW in the display tank:eek:

...big time Indon buyers sitting inside the booth discussing and negotiating;)

...t-shirts and breeding caves for sale....

....folks inviting those who crowd round the tank to join the club...

Good job guys!

Standard for comp really high, with limited shipments and so many veterans by then, I'm sure I will be going around every tank with *WOW* instead:eek:
