Belgium Discus - Australie 2002

2002 (PIJAC) QUEENSLAND AQUARIUM FISH AND REPTILE SHOW

By our special reporter Allan Clark

The 2002 PIJAC Queensland Aquarium Fish and Reptile Show was held over the weekend 6-7 July 2002 at the RNA Showground in Brisbane. As this was the first large show of its type ever held in Brisbane the show overall was a big success. The Australian Discus Association was represented at the Show, with a display booth and fish supplied by two of their members Walter Murphy and Allan Clark who also manned the booth over the two days of the show, with new membership to the club and a lot of enquiries on the keeping of Discus. The President of the ADA Trevor Parkes and one of the committee members Peter Ng came up from Sydney to help with the booth as well. There was a Fish Competition held in conjuction with the show with over 216 entries of all types of fish, placed in their different classes. In the Discus class there were more than 40 entries of different strains and the quality of the fish was good. The placings for the Discus Class were:

1st Place	Orange Spotted Pigeon	Allan Clark
2nd Place	Blue Diamond	Peter Ng
3rd Place	Blue Diamond	Allan Clark
4th Place	Solid Red	Henry Buchegger

Overall it was a great success and now planning for the Sydney Show is underway.
