Warren Posted September 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Oops, sorry Rob, please get the numbers in by Sept 22nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Hi Warren - I know the show info said that it's open ie all classes. Is that the general classes or are you including some of the subclasses (eg D = cichlid general class, Da = angels, Db = Dwarf, Dc = rift lake)? Are you happy to accept entries in the breeders and plant classes? On the entry form there is also a fish length column - I'm not sure what info is required: the length as listed in show size sheets or the length of the fish actually being entered? Sorry for all the questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Hi Warren I want to enter but each time I click on the link it brings me back to this topic. Where do I find an actual entry form? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interfecus Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 How are things coming along with registrations for show fish? What number has been reached now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted September 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Still only 17. A bit slow, but I guess everyone will send in their entires at the last minute so I get completely overloaded. Remember, Wed 22nd is the last day for registrations, I won't accept any more after that. So, make sure you're in early please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 What happens if we don't know what the fish is we want to enter? :-? Is it enough to say it is a rainbow of some sort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted September 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 It would be best to get the scientific name if possible. If you can't work out what it is yourself, try getting someone from your club to help. Post a photo in the forums to get it's id. We're here to help as much as we can... The judges are likely to disqualify any fish named incorrectly. We are expecting 300+ entries for the show. It is important for our tank layout that all fish are correctly named. It will reduce the last minute panic when trying to get all the fish into the correct tanks. If we get a fish with a name that is incorrect and can positively identify it we will try to adjust the tank layout to house it. If we have to shuffle too much we will have to either leave everything as-is or leave the fish out of the show. We want to have every tank full and all entries will be arranged by class. To shuffle one fish into a class where there will be no spare tanks will mean moving many fish. Then there is the paperwork to update. It's something we'd rather not do. You can see how important it is to correctly name your fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 I've done all that Warren but no one seems to be able to agree on the ID :roll: . I know they are rainbows. I'm pretty sure they are both Melanotaenia but then I get stuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 I'll see what I can do regarding a more definite ID Caryl, I've got a CD on Rainbowfish that has pictures of regional variations - I just need to find a computer still running Windows 98 (there are some in at work) as it doesn't work on later versions of Windows.

Caryl Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 I would appreciate that Rob. Gotta enter my fish with the right name! I have tried to ID them myself but the pics I have found, all under the same name, are all totally different colours, stripes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interfecus Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I don't know whether you've tried this. If you haven't, give it a go. If you have XP, try right clicking on the program and selecting properties. There should be a compatability section. Select the box saying "Run in compatability mode" and select Windows 98 from the dropdown menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Thanks for the tip Interfecus - I hadn't tried that, I have now but unfortunately still no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Well I've had a rummage through the CD and have come to the conclusion that Caryl's mystery rainbow fish is a form of Melanotaenia splendida australis (as Midas has suggested in the other thread). Reading through the description it emphasises the extreme variability of this type of rainbow but does say that the zig-zagging blackish lines on the lower sides are a trademark of this species/sub-species.

Interfecus Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Kevin counted numbers at our last meeting (KMAC) but didn't collect names. I believe the count was about 10. If you need names, I intend to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
