We now have 6 sponsors who sponsoring the classes indicated below!!!!!
Finally we are going to have a BOWL SHOW again. I love to see the large variety of fish shown. Many of them are mature fish, not the young ones sold in the fish stores, so you will see most of the fish all grown up.
If you want or can sponsor a BOWL SHOW Class or Award, please do so. Go to https://www.pvas.com/forum/news-events/bowl-show-awards-for-2022-call-for-sponsors for information on how much and how to do it.
I hope you can bring at least one fish to the BOWL SHOW so you will the full experience of the show. Learning to successfully show fish can help you to become a better aquarium hobbyist. In other post which I will make in the next week or so, I will provide information about how to prepare your fish for the show and how to transport the fish. I will also post about registration: no preregistration required.

We now have 8 sponsors.
Hi Frank,
I would like to sponsor the Schooling Fish category. Just talked to Michael and will give him cash tomorrow.
Thanks! Patchin
What category would Medaka Ricefish be in?
Is the rule about livebearers in pairs new? Don't remember this from the past. I don't really want to crowd my large livebearers two to a container. Same with schooling fish. I have a huge male congo tetra, but I'm not putting him in with 4 others.
