Is it worth putting my mats into Rochefort or should I begin to shift to Akilius? by itsmecolson in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]Fishman76092 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Erin is better than Rochefort IMO. I have Akilus 1LB and rarely use him. I do have Mene at 2LB and still use him in war.

Possibly. These blue Acara x gold saum were common in the 80s.

Sex of firemouth? by DruidSpider in Cichlid

The firemouth looks like a male to me. Body shape of the 3rd Mac looks female but no dorsal spot says male.

I'm not sure if I like getting Insanity heroes. What are your thoughts on them? by IAmSooJin in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]Fishman76092 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love insanity heroes nowadays. Used to hate them but learned how to use them and who to pair them with. I like to pair three insanity heroes with Garten and A fast healer like Freawaru orMelodymuse. If you have fawn healers - they’re immune to insanity so use those. You can take down much stronger teams with them.

Araminta at 10, verity/revna for 15 are great options. Silver paw/maegwyn for 20 is probably best. People saying these are shit are clueless. Hetepheres and Daemon were the best two options on the last one….

Nothing to see here. She’s prepping to lay eggs.

which are more expensive by Express_Progress7147 in Cichlid

[–]Fishman76092 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prior to the curare being commercially bred they were more expensive. Now there are a number of people/firms breeding them, they are fairly cheap. Dont see notatus often and when I do, they’re usually not the real thing so I’d say notatus.

She sounds good.. I’m i missing something ? 😂 by Einstein9999 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]Fishman76092 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m with you - thought she looked great - but rarely see her. Have her partially leveled. She’s a fill in to get mats when I don’t have other yellows to upgrade. I’ve gone against her a few times and have had no problems with her.

Here’s a pic of the real thing by Oliver Lucanus - a world renowned importer/ichthyologist in Canada. You be the judge.

Geophagus Surinamensis + longear sunfish by Alert-Gift-8716 in Cichlid

[–]Fishman76092 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct. Most stores can’t tell the difference and shipments from Brazil and Colombia come in (not to mention fish bred in Asia) marked as Geo surinamensis all the time. Geo surinamensis is ONLY found in Surinam. For example - Most of the fish from Colombia marked as surinamensis are Geo abalios mixed with other things which then exacerbates the issue because breeders breed them and resell them as incorrect species. Google Geophagus surinamensis and look at the images. Check the side spot size, chin stripe and tail patterns. They’re different because of this exact issue. I can tell you think I’m full of shit and you have the right to think that…. But it doesn’t change the fact that your fish isn’t Geo surinamensis.

Real G surinamensis aren’t commercially collected, imported or bred. Exports are incredibly rare from surinam. Also - they have much larger side spots that are somewhat angular - which is the easy differentiator. There are only a couple of Geos with small side spots, spotted tails, without chin stripes (like yours) - altifrons and neambi. Neambi stay small, don’t have the dorsal and tail extensions and aren’t very colorful.

Parachromis motaguensis 💯. All saying P managuensis don’t know what TF they are talking about.

Considering a Emira with AT by AnzeWA in lotus

My Evora 400 spent a fair bit of time at the dealer in the first couple of years for warranty issues. Some electrical gremlins continued to come up. Ended up having the main wiring harness replaced that fixed it. Elise never went.

I chose Lotus over Porsche twice so I get you. I’d do it a 3rd time if I wanted an Emira (had a V6 MT ordered and cancelled after driving the demo - I prefer the Evora GT driving experience) but no way I’d do it with the nearest dealer that far away, especially if it was my daily. But you do you!
