All the above mentioned is GREAT/EXCELLENT advice. I concur totally! I'm trying to decide which of the fish I previously decided on last fall will go to the ABAKS April 1st/2nd. I really get concerned over bringing fish out at this time of year. We're not really going to be out of our winter season yet. Taking fish to a show to be placed outside in 6' show tanks, is not the most promising of ideas. I think the temperature can fluctuate dramatically overnight placing an unnecessary amount of stress on top of already stressed out fish. Then again, I think that because their systems are still somewhat shut down, they are calmer in the spring and don't get as hyper as they can in fall due to all that pent up energy they have (especially males). They can become really frantic when placed in a new environment with less than ideal conditions and then left to deal with all the people staring down at them. It seems to really spook them out. To show fish at this time is really a tough decision. I have a tank reserved but am still uncertain about competing.
