Photographer
Special thanks go to
David Ramsey, who
took photos of all the
winning angelfish.
David is a new TAS
member who joined TAS
at the ACA convention.
Photographing the fish
was especially
challenging due to poor
lighting and poor
backdrop. Try
photographing a black
angelfish with black
plastic under and
behind the tank!
Thank you David!
People photos were taken by
Tamar Stephens.
And thank you to everyone
else who helped!
• Leslie James for
researching and
selecting perfect
ribbons and
trophy!
• To all the people
who entered the
TAS Angelfish
Show!

a long-tine TAS member who
entered angelfish in the TAS
Angelfish Show both in 2010 and
in 2011.
Next year: Start planning
for 2012!
• How many of you looked at these photos of winning
angelfish and thought to yourself, “Hey, I have angels
just as beautiful!”
• Well, start planning for 2012. Raise up the most
spectacular angelfish you can, using all those skills of
good angelfish husbandry that you know, and bring
your angelfish to the 2012 Third Annual TAS Angelfish
Show!
• ACA 2012 will be hosted by the Circle City Aquarium
Club in Indianapolis, IN, July 11-15.
