At the All-Aquarium Catfish Convention 2014 Fish Show the judges' assistant (me) made an error and did not see Dave's spectacular entry, Leptobotia taeniops, in the Loaches Class. Dave's fish should have won, especially considering there were only two other entries in the class. This is the fish he entered:
To correct the error, we are awarding Dave first place in the Loach Class for his entry retroactively. Dave will receive an art print by Ian Fuller, which he would have won had the error not occurred. Since we can't announce the award at the convention, we're doing it here. Congratulations Dave on a gorgeous fish!
Dave has been a huge supporter of our convention. He has been to all six that we have hosted and has, without fail, entered spectacular, rare fishes in the show. Huge thanks to Dave for all of his support and participation over the years.
See you in 2016!
