Wow.. I did not get a picture in this time... if possible try to take a shot of your fish that it would be suitable for the banner. I know many people have their vote influenced by a clear picture of the whole fish.

**lloyd378** 2013-09-13, 23:39

I wish I could vote for two!!!!! But my heart belongs to.....

tayntdawg 2013-09-14, 03:28

What kinda of fish is number 4 & 9??

LuminousAphid 2013-09-14, 15:03

Is it too late for me to email one to you? I was just looking into this contest yesterday, but might have waited too long this time. Oh well, there's always next month!

Anthraxx 2013-09-14, 17:46

some awesome pics this month! have to say my eye was drawn to some non-cichlids for once Razz

. i personally prefer the pictures which dont appear to be artificial, i dont want to see tank edges, intakes, hosing, glare, etc. as close to something you might see in planet earth i guess

I will let you know what 9 is but pic 5 is a Grammode. I know what the cichlids are but not the non cichlids

tayntdawg 2013-09-15, 00:17

Thanks I was wonderin if I have seen it before cuz the colorin and shape looked similar to sum of my fish just the face is really cool. So thanks again. .. now anyone out there no what it is please let me no... it kinda looks like a goby of sum sort. Thanks

**Madness** 2013-09-15, 00:25

Picture 9 is a Schistura cf balteata, aka "sumo loach" And actually now that I am not on my phone, the Grammode is actually #4, #5 is a Discus. Smile

Salzabar 2013-09-15, 00:36

Message to Cory: Bring in some "Sumo loaches" :stop
: have lots of money :stop

tayntdawg 2013-09-15, 04:08

Yea please do iam lookin it up now....I think pic of the month should say the species of the fish along with the pic...just sayin!!!

nick_76 2013-09-18, 00:42

damn, #2 cant even get its own owner to vote for it...now that's cold!

fishyladdy 2013-09-18, 01:36

how would number one even look on the banner... lol

Guest 2013-09-18, 02:50

Crop it and rotate the picture to the left.

Paintguy 2013-09-18, 03:07

I was thinking about that one also.. I could make it work.

Lets keep this thread on track. The contest is for the picture of the month. Not what would look best on the banner. Lets keep the voting clean. Also comments about whose picture is whose is not allowed. While no one is directly named, lets not let this escalate.

Angelman 2013-09-22, 13:14

That's it only 43 votes out of 1136 members? Really?

Guest 2013-09-22, 19:47

I guess there's only 44 active members and tons of guests.

I don't think guests can vote and that number is the total # of registered users.

I was saying we got 44+ active members and voting out of 1136 registered members but alot of guests visiting. Not guests voting. Ok. We are derailing. Lets stop. lol!

nick_76 2013-09-23, 13:01

part of the problem is this keeps dropping off the portal after a few days of inactivity. also, there just arent that many active users...just do the math - it appears there have been 2238 posts this month and the vast majority have been posted by 10 people.....so im actually surprised that there are 44 votes, considering. there just arent very many active users at all.

how did i come to these numbers?
i took pokes 291 posts, divided it by his perventage, multiplied that answer by my percentage and came out reasonably close to mine,i figure the discrepency is due to a rounding error

291/0.13=2238*.07= 156

so, we are not that active and vibrant of a community, just a tiny minority making all the noise (you look at teh percentage 10 is of 1136 or whatever we have...yet about 500 of those registered users have never made a post despite being registered for years- delete maybe?)

**Madness** 2013-10-03, 02:51

The winner of this months POTM is :

Nice. I'm part of the equation. afro

plaamoo 2013-10-03, 07:30

Thanks folks! They are beautiful fish! There are several variants, hence the cf. I've been told that these look like the Burmese sp. Some are nasty, mine only bicker amongst themselves.

cichlid-gal 2013-10-03, 08:42

Congrats...that is a great photo of a great looking fish...a real standout

DMD123 2013-10-03, 11:00

Anthraxx 2013-10-03, 13:14

I thought about getting these in some kind of awesome tank. Saw one at the Wet Spot, they had it in a nano aquascaped to look like a cave XD They are beautiful little fish!

LuminousAphid 2013-10-09, 17:36

Banner looks great, I agree that overall that pic has the most character and probably fits best next to the name up top! I like it!
