barred = vildform. eller barred är en vanlig sort av vildform.
Jeff har försökt jaga rätt på alla de där "Nicaraguan crater lake" firrarna du listade. Men ingen lycka ännu. Jag håller med att ska man leka superduper-exklusiv deluxe fisk-samlare så är de fiskarna riktigt intresanta.
citat:
For anybody that is interested in these cichlids you need to get the January 04 issue of Cichlid News.
"More Close Encounters - Through The Glass Clearly, Aquarium observations on the behaviour of Nicaraguan cichlid communities" by Willem Heijns
In this article he discusses the interaction between various cichlids and includes pictures of fish that I have never seen before including:
Amphilophus amarillo, A. xiloaensis (both normal and gold forms), A. sagittae & A. zaliosus.
The author claims to have "an almost complete collection of the cichlids of Laguna Xiloá" including the following:
Amphilophus amarillo
A. sagittae
A. zaliosus
A. sp. "chancho"
P. managuense
P. dovii
Archocentrus centrarchus
Crytoheros nigrofasciatus "Ometepe Island"
Hypsophrys nicaraguensis
Neetroplus nematopus
He also includes pics of his 620 gallon tanks packed with Nicaraguan cichlids.
He mentions how in these big tanks the centrarchus are a tight group cruising the tank together as a schooling fish while in the presence of a large pair of A. zaliosus and 5 P. managuesis and 10 A. sp. "chancho".
Det låter inte helt fel va? :)
