Our members brought along a variety of fish species in order to compete, in 'friendly competition', for the four remaining trophies. At the end of the night
Mr. Malcolm Short had 'swept the board' taking the British Telecom Xmas Trophy (Opaline gourami), Fishkeeping Contest (Guppy), Best Egglaying Fish (Ruby-finned shark) and Best Livebearing Fish (German yellow-tail tuxedo guppy). Well-done Malcolm.
