hoges Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I'll be down in melbourne next month sometime, if thats any use to you... I'd happily pack them up and bring them back to Sydney, hmm... but now I'm thinking you live in QL. Oh well the offer stands if you need it, tho i will have to wait until the end of this week to confirm with work that they are still sending me and what dates I will be down there.

Michael Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Hey Lungy, Just found this pic of a Temensis.. What do ya think...? P.S mark, is that pic of the cichla from Rayonnes Aquarium in Melbourne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lungy Posted March 21, 2004 Author Share Posted March 21, 2004 Yeah i saw that Mike thats why i am confused But that sure is one nice Cichla or an Elongatus on some super growth hormone whatever it is .. Andy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cichlids_au Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Well that was a waste of time. That old forum was a shocker, nothing is EZ about it. There was a huge thread when I first posted that photo but I can't recall what they were at the end of the day. I think I said they were Trem's but it was decided that they were Mono's but I am very fuzzy on that so don't stop looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cichlids_au Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Michael I didn't get the shop name or suburb but an Asian Guy ran it if that helps. Calliuris and Aussiem took me there when I visited once. He also had a massive spilo upstairs. The image is a few years old now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anchar Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Hi Andy, Maybe some of the confusion comes from the fact that originally two species of Cichla were recognised: C. ocellaris and C. temensis. It has recently been proposed that they split the C. ocellaris into a series of discrete species including monoculus (Peru, Amazon), intermedia, orinocensis (Venezuela) and ocellaris (Guianas). They are classed according to dramatic regional polymorphism. In the absence of reliable information as to the origin of the export, I guess that the name Cichla sp. affin. ocellaris is best applied to this fish.

Alex Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Cichla monoculus. Although the eye of Monocs are said to be ornage they can also be red in some cases. You have some nice monocs there or if your really lucky maybe even occies, but not temensis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
