Divided & Filtration Tanks

Divided Tanks Rule 13, page 3-2, booklet 5
These are for Pair & Breeders Teams where there may be aggression between the exhibited fish.
It is possible to use two tanks instead of one divided tank as long as they are matched and it is clear to the judge that they form one exhibit.
Tanks are generally divided in to two compartments, as the rules do not state this specifically, it is possible to have more than two compartments.
If the situation arises where more compartments are needed, it may be better to have two matched, divided tanks.
A divided tank is counted as one exhibit, so only one number sticker is needed.
If two tanks are used, it would be best to put number sticker on both; they must have the same number of course!
Each division of a divided tanks must comply with the show tank regulations; each division must be a minimum of 100mm x 100mm x 100mm and be big enough to house the fish in comfort.
On no account can coloured (including black), opaque of patterned class be used in the construction of the container or its divider.

Filtration Tanks (Rule 10, Page 3-2, Booklet 5
These were introduced for two-day shows and festivals but can also be used for Open Shows.
There is a strict rule as to when these tanks can be used, namely for fish over 200 mm, although not stated in the rules, it would be safe to assume this is standard length, the size measured by the judge, and it is the actual length of the fish, not the size it is expected to grow to.
The tank must be a minimum of 450mm long, 250mm wide and 250mm high.
All of the vertical surfaces, including the divider, must be made of clear class or plastic.
Black dividers are not permitted.
A filter can be placed in the smaller section; this can be a box filter, sponge filter or a small internal, power filter.
Filtration must be switched of before the exhibit is judged, so the exhibitor must inform a steward of this.
