xysti53 63 Report post Posted July 30, 2016 Today is the start of the setup for the EKKA Aquarium Competition. Judging on Wednesday and the EKKA open Friday. Position has changed and the display is 18 stands compared to 13 last year. This year it is still under the new convention center but right up the back. Something like 120 entries. Largest number in the EKKA for more than 10 years. Largest class this year is Goldfish with 34 entries. New Breeders Team and Nano Tank classes as well. Looks like being a great show.

Ping 2 Report post Posted August 9, 2016 Good pic of the champ! I'm so envious of those who can attend the show. Can anyone post more photos of the winning exhibits, especially interested in class 3, 18, 19 & 23? Pretty please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrShiggles 6 Report post Posted August 10, 2016 How do they judge it? By display, school or individual fish? Sent from my SM-P350 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thatsright99 130 Report post Posted August 10, 2016 Best ask graham... but yes, the 3 ways you asked are 3 diff categories. Per fish, you have size, finage, colour, deportment maybe something else. Highest score wins. Mine was marked down because colour wasn't fully showing ( I only got it out of the main tank 2 days before lol. It should've been setup months in advance...so I can't complain too much ) Then the other classes are similar. But there's diff judgeing criteria for each like layout of plants-wood ect interaction between the fishes, compatability thereof, landscaping ect ect. Graham should have judging criteria or one of the other stewards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
