Picture of the Year — Celebrating the Best of the Best

As another incredible year of photography comes to a close, it’s time to look back on the standout images that defined each month of the Capital Cichlid Association’s Picture of the Month contest.

Throughout the year, our members captured remarkable moments—from stunning colors and rare species to unique behaviors and perfectly-timed shots. Each monthly winner earned its place through creativity, skill, and a shared passion for the hobby.

Now, these exceptional photos come together in one final showcase: Picture of the Year.

This annual feature highlights the very best of our community’s talent and dedication to aquatic life. Every entry represents not only a beautiful image, but also the care, patience, and knowledge that goes into keeping and photographing these incredible fish.

A huge thank you goes out to everyone who submitted photos, voted, and supported the contest throughout the year. Your participation is what makes this event such a success.
