Caper Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Duh, I was just going to ask if it was a cichlid till I realized I was in the cichlid forum :-? :-? :-? It's very pretty. Is the yellow underneath the mouth the actual color or is it a light shining on it???? 8) Is that its Latin name, does it have a shorter/common name?

David R Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 does it have a shorter name? Geophagus balzanii? :lol: Yes it's latin, common names are over-rated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freshwest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I had a look at some in our lfs here in Pukekohe. They are very skinny as well. Looks like they had a hard time in quarantine. I was reading some info on them and it said they require a 3 month month period each year were you need to drop the temp to 20 C . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I can just imagine how many LFSs would tell their customers that :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Yes it's latin, common names are over-rated Not to me :lol: :lol: :lol: no good at those names :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 You won't get any better by just using common names! It's not actually that hard once you sorta learn the basics of how latin words are pronounced. Luke I guess the answer to your question is similar to the number of LFS's that sell pacu's, arowanas etc to people who don't have 1000L+ tanks....

sharn Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 amen to that david but i wont get started. if a store stocks pacu it instantly puts me off. ill be walking round thinking 'yeah, neat shop, they seem to know what theyre doing' then BAM baby pacu in a tank and i just think of those poor fishies that are going to grow massive but most likely die/get killed before they even live half their lives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
