Your catch video must clearly depict your fish swimming away in a healthy manner.

The health of your fish will be at the discretion of the competition moderators based on the visuals available in your catch video.
Cheating
Anyone found or reported to be cheating and found guilty within reasonable doubt will be disqualified and banned from the competition indefinitely. The Keepnet.co head office will assist in determining whether a fish is submitted correctly or not. Please clarify any concerns with the competition moderators, should you have any concerns!
