Replacing photo 1 for the calendar spot is a photo taken by Nathan Wilder of a Purple Pseudochromis (?) and Regal Tang.


These winners along with the others who submitted entries really made the judges work difficult in determining the best in category and general category! There were so many neat and wonderful photos to choose from.

Thanks for your participation and interest!

We will have these calendars for sale at the Jan 13 meeting.

Chad,

You're Welcome, I love that picture as well. It's difficult keeping him OUT of a picture actually, he's always in front of the camera.

BTW, Don't look too far when you go to upgrade. If you go with a tank 180 or bigger then my PB might work out fine. I'm thinking in the next 6-8 months that I'll have to find another home for him. He'll be 2.5 years old in my tank then and a tad too big to live a good life in my 90.

Cheers,
Ryan
