Rules & Judging Guidelines:

Body shape: including head, operculum and body. An operculum is a lid or flap covering the aperture, on the gill cover. Bodies should be round as possible or slightly higher than long. Head profile should be smooth with no humps, although a predorsal notch is perfectly acceptable. Does the eye look the right size? Are the lips too big?

Finnage: For example; are they symmetrical, fully formed, not torn. The fins should be straight without kinks or twists. Smooth gradual curves in the ventral (pelvic) fins are fine.

Pigmentation: Are the colors / markings a good representation of the phenotype? Does the fish express the trait well?

Deportment: for example; How the fish is displaying? Fins outstretched and the fish appearing alert and active? Clear eyes, no signs of disease.

Picture quality: for example; crisp focus, clean glass, motion (blur), are the eyes visible (the pupil and iris).

Picture composition: includes artistic issues such as: aquascape, how much the fish fills the image, the angle the fish is viewed (90 degree side view is best)
