ryanjury Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 If you want to find out more about clubs and shows and stuff then join your local fish club.. As for shows the FNZAS is looking to run one in a year or so in Hamilton apart from that I am not aware of anyone else who does them in NZ..

Thats what c :thup: lubs do is it not. Organise shows and raise money for paper and stamps etc etc etc and trophies. Tea and bikkies.

ryanjury Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Sounds like you definitely need to join our club and help arrange a show, I have just taken over as president and we are definitely looking for ideas to promote the club, the hobby and raise a few $$s at the same time..

Squirt Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Sounds like you definitely need to join our club and help arrange a show, I have just taken over as president and we are definitely looking for ideas to promote the club, the hobby and raise a few $$s at the same time.. I like the sound of that. You should donate x amount to a charity then more people will support. Not only are you raising more funds but some will be going to a cause. Even if it goes to a member on FNZAS that needs help. Also if you have a show with a large enough audience you could sell food and fish items kind of like an expo. You could rent a big hall set up some tanks in there make them look nice. Have some stalls and other nic knacky things. Also I wouldn't do just guppies I would all fish and even reptiles if people have them. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterlogged Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 shame it would only really work in the larger cities. Don't think we would get a large enough turn out down here for just fish. Would need to be a pet expo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livebearer_breeder Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 what could be fun, we would need somebody to breed one strain (assuming guppys) in huge amounts and then, everyone would get this guppy at the same time, breed for a year with whatever other guppy you got, or breed true (if it was a true line?), but enough time to develop your own from original if wanted, come back after a year and hold a show of everyone's guppy's, details of there out crosses, or not, e.g family tree, different color throws that can sometimes be fantastic, look at recessive genes and breeding efficiency, diets of all the different fish, tank size vs water changes vs growth etc maybe this is me just being a nerd but i think it could be really cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURN Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I only wanted to go to look at a fish show. :thup: I have been to poultry shows, dog shows and other types of live shows. But never to a fish show. Yes we could even join the fish club. I am up for a bit of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
