Congratulations to all the winners!!
From a personal perspective:
All participants deserve a credit. All specimens were excellent.
If I were a judge, everyone would have got a prize :wink: 
I'm sure it's been very difficult even for the members of the jury to conclude the prizes.
All applause to all the participants for their spirit.
Personal Note to Organizers:
1. Please make sure the water provided in the display tank is Crystal Clear.
2. Organize for lighting on the display tanks.
3. Provide time for the participants to speak on their exhibits.
Thanks, |

1. Yes the next time around. Monsoon ain't a good time for anyone. It's taking 3 days or more to clear the water.
2. It will be practically impossible for a hobbyist society to provide this kind of infra structure. I have not seen any hobbyist society conducting a competition providing lighting. With increase in participation anticipated it will be impossible to locate lighting and periodically increase the same.
Clearer water should compensate for this next time around. For judges to make things easier a hand held CFL light or such can be provided. Since this is to kick off the competition fever it will not be possible to make an expenditure on this infrastructure at this stage especially when no entrance fee is being charged. However if this were to become a weekly event something can be done but then space and time is in short supply.
Let's think about it anyway.
3. This can be arranged. The participants can be stationed next to their exhibit, but in a confined space this might lead to overcrowding. I would like to make it compulsory for the participants to make a small placard giving all details of their exhibit and place it alongside the tank. |

Yes, Nag it was a close fight. As one of the Judges for this contest it was a struggle not to be too strict and too liberal all at the same time.
This sure was a good beginning. The participants who entered fish which they had been caring for for a while, or fish that were brought from a good environment and well fed scored high marks rather than guys who purchased just about any fish from a LFS in the past 48 hours. The difference was so obvious.
It was difficult scoring the entries as some of them would have stood out in any hobbyist society competition. |

Cheers to all the winners and a round of applause to the organisers and judges for making it a great experience. Going through the posts, I'm sure there were issues(like lighting), but then all these will sort themselves out in the long run.
I totally agree with Madan's Info-Placard idea. Gives us more personalised information about the fish in particular and the species in general. This information would be useful to anyone planning on bidding/buying a Not-So-Common species if they know it's general requirements etc.
Thanks once again guys. |

| Nothing really thats worth uploading actually. And the fishes photographs came out pretty bad too, too cloudy/ low light. The low light performance of this camera s@cks too. Anyways, will try to play around with the photos and upload if anything good comes out of it today. Need to see if that Pro photographer has had any better luck. |

Okay, here's the best I could do with these really bad snaps. I'm sorry for the quality, but the water and the lights just didnt help.

Coppermine didnt allow me to create the ASK Fish Show folder under the "Events" section. IF the moderator/administrator could please move the folder into the "Events" section, it would be great. Else let it be there since the images are already linked into the article.
More over I have the individual judge's assesment sheet photographs here with me incase anyone is interested. If you'd want them for retrospection and analysis  of what happened, then you can PM me for that. If there are a lot of requests I could just upload it here; if the judges do not mind. |
