Speaking as a judge at many fish shows, you have some nice fish David - excellent body form, and symmetrical finnage that is of standard length. I agree with Darrel - too much emphasis on color to the detriment of body shape and fin length.

It is a part of man's nature to try and improve on the natural-----thx Mike:wink:

Some new things coming up--one pretty soon and one in a little bit--you asked for some pics-but knowing how competition is in the Scientific world--well you know. Be assured though, as soon as I can you will get material.

I really work on the boday and fin shape. the color is easy. Ibeleive also--it's probably irrational that very soft water increses the lappet length too.
