vince0 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Hi folks, Just wanted to notify you that the club will be hosting a jar show at our november meeting. There will be two categories, egg layers and live-bearers, to keep it easy. We will be handing out certificates for the first three places as well as best in show. Also, the best in show fish will have their owner's names engraved on our jar show cup, effectively immortilizing you in club lore! Finally, ther will also be a prize for participation, so I hope to see you all there! If you have any questions,fee free to contact me via email or pm.

vince0 Posted November 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 you can bring your fish in a jar... I think theres a stipulation you have to own the fish for 60days prior to a show for them to be eligible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishclubgirl Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 I guess this means I can't enter bettas that I just got in from Thailand??

dan11 Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 What are the rules? How many fish per jar? Are plants allowed, or only fish? Oh, and can I buy a membership at the meeting on Tuesday? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingin' It Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 You can most certainly buy your membership at the meeting! I'll leave the rules for Vince to chime in on. But usually just fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince0 Posted November 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 The jar show as far as I can remember is just a toned down version of the show. Typically speaking, there is one fish per "jar" or tank. For this event, we decided to go with 2 basic category, but at he march show I believe there will be a planted tank section. For this event, we are only voting on best of the egg layers, and best of the live bearers, as well as overall best in show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprucegruve Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) so your not allowed to have plants in the jar/tank? even tho your just judging the fish not the tank.is that correct? edit- sorry, i wont even be attending. im just curious what all the rules are Edited November 5, 2011 by Sprucegruve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince0 Posted November 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 i don't think it matters much? if people want to have plants in their tank, they are more than welcome to do so. I would just think it may interfere with how they're fish will be seen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
