Remember:

Submitted Photos Required to be:

• Water mark free, anonymous and include a title and species name of the fish.

What makes a fish an oddball exactly?

[Bermont]

For those that arent in the know how about a list with an idea of some of the 'oddballs' and 'tank busters' that can be entered into this months competition

[malawiman85]

If you own an oddball or a TB, you will know it.If you have to ask, then it probably isnt.

[JackMack]

I obviously don't own nor think I own an oddball, I just want to know what classifies a fish as an oddball?

[Fox]

Stuff like Bichirs, Rays, Knifefish, oarfish or Odd catfish like woodcats or electric cats etc, Anything you dont really see around often.

[malawiman85]

Strangeness! The more strangeness the better... Some strange fish that would be classified as oddballs: BGK's (and other knives), Tandanus, FW Sole, bichir, rope fish, puffers, bullrout, FW Lionfish, lungfish, elephantnose, eels, rays, sleepy cod, gars and needle fish (not that I imagine we will be seeing many of those).

[JackMack]

By that logic I have an odd ball

[malawiman85]

Well dont keep me in suspense man, what is it?

[Fox]

This is also an Oddball

Only a BGK, used to have four tandanus though.. Awesome fish.

[TheTexasCichlidMasacre]

you dont need to own the fish to take a photo of it and enter it just permission to photo it .... so that doesnt mean these people realise they have an oddball or tankbuster photo sitting somewhere lol

a list might make them realise wait on i have a pic to enter into this comp!

My interpretation is pretty much anything that didn't fit into any of the previous categories lol.

 

If in doubt, send it to Rovik and see what he says.

[Bermont]

for me i consider a tank buster anything that grows over 30cm, a lot of people seem to go by that too, since the average aquarium is usually a 4' tank or smaller these fish would be tank busters

[Rovik]

Will be closing entries tomorrow evening: Last chance to get your entries in !

[Jules]

Lets see them TBs!!!

[ice]
