Re: is there a book of standards for killies
Hello Charlie,
Too bad that your "Judging Standards" project was abandoned. Comments
such as "judges pay particular attention to ...." would have been
invaluable to all show entrants and are found nowhere else!
What would it take to resurrect this project?
Best,
George

Maybe Killifish SHow Stankards?? Anyway, it was supposed to have a diagram of the fish with size guidelines and body guidelines. But like Lee said, most of us just judge out of memory and experience.
