Dark Morelia Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Hi All, This is my first post, and i'm pretty new to cichlids so please be kind. I bought this gorgeous fish on Saturday, and he has settled in well. (it IS a him isnt it?) I would like to hear thoughts on wether or not he is a very spotty pure Trimac or maybe with a bit of something else in ? He is about 15cm, and his mate, which i've had since she was about 4cm, is now 10cm, so they'd be right for breeding wouldn't they ? They're divided in a 4ft x 1½ft x 2ft tank. Thanks, Andy Inserting the image, or making a link to it didnt work, but my geocities website never seems to be compatible with forums, so try opening a new browser window, and then just copy and paste this URL into your browser, and cross your fingers. http://www.geocities.com/dark_morelia/dcp_1759_600.jpg If it doesn't work, i can email the pic to anybody interested.

Ash Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 With that many dots it may be a low grade flowerhorn, definately trimac derived if it isn't pure. Welcome BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nornicle Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 yeh welcome.. what shop did you get this fish from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Morelia Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 I got it (Him?) from the petshop at Lawson, in the Blue Mtns. (I can't remember the name of it) He was one someone'd brought in to the shop. Oh, and i took a photo of my female. http://www.geocities.com/dark_morelia/dcp_1770_600.jpg (remember, copy and paste if clicking on the link doesnt work) (clicking it doesnt work for me, anyway) If you do an image search for trimacs, many of them have almost as many spots as my one.

Dark Morelia Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 Yeah, but i'm even n00er than you Ash, LOL I wouldn't have asked for people's thoughts on the matter if i hadn't had my own suspicions Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaman Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Welcome Dark Morelia, I'm sure you will enjoy the forum. You will find it increadibly helpful as you explore the hobby. There's a few Cichlid lovers in the Blue Mountains...ey Baz? (Baz lives in the Blue Mountains and I'm sure you will come across him in the forum). Cheers Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
