All subsequent FOTM competitions will run from 14th to 13th of the month for entries and voting from 14th to 28th.

LET'S SEE THOSE PICS.

Here is my entry the lad himself Chops.

With borrowed camera verification pic, This was not easy, he tried to eat the paper through the glass

 

[Ludwig Venter]

Wonderful Star!!... I'm so glad that you could get hold of a Cam to verify.... Now let's hold thumbs and see if Chops could be our first FOTM and POTM winner...(Both titles). Good luck with your entry.

(At least Chops would go down in history as being the first ever fish to enter the TFF FOTM competition)

Hello

I would like to enter this competition but I fail to understand what it is for..

Is it a competition of best fish or a competition of best picture of a fish?

Hello

I would like to enter this competition but I fail to understand what it is for..

Is it a competition of best fish or a competition of best picture of a fish?

As it is with (for instance) "Pet of the month", the quality of the photo is secondary, but must at least be presentable.... The content of the photo would be the focus point and should not favour a Mandarin above a female guppy (so to speak), but concentrate more on the quality and general condition and composure of the subject fish..... A colourless, but smiling happy female guppy gets my vote above a sad looking Clown Fish. (Comparison made just to convey my point)

the only pic I have thats new is my clown fish taken to night
or my Lawnmower Blenny

Simonas..... The rules (rule no.5) allow one entry per member per competition..... Thanks for your entries, but, which is it going to be?? Clown or Lawnmower??

 

[simonas]

[Jamepsss]

Verification...

I didn't even know what a Blenny is so with some Googling, I now know what it is and I can safely say, Simon, you have a fab fish!

Hi all, this is my entry for fish of the month;

My bumblebee Goby - Buggrit

Validation photo; apologies for the blurry text, had to have macro on.




And then my actual photo of Buggrit.



He's only a juvinile, but plenty of attitude, and the famous vacant grumpy stare of a bumblebee.

(man it's hard to take a photo of a jerky moving, 1cm fish)
