I have no clue. Look at another board. There is an expert there on fishes:
what does that mean..? 8O
That there are no itchyologists, biologists or breeders HERE? That the guy at that site is a specialist in labyrinth fish..or what?
Gee that was a slap at the members here...(wether you meant it or not)
Does that mean if I use my domain to set up a fish site and post summarized information on as many species as I can find multiple sources for and put info in easily read pieces.. I am an "expert"
I helped breed many aquatic animals sucessfully for over 4 years..and I am stiiill not an EXPERT..sheeez!
Dr Fosters and Smith "expert staff' are closer to experts if ya wanna get technical..in treatments anyway...
Members including myself send people to loaches online for loach specific info and the admins send peeps to the krib often for cichlid info. Or to see an image of some beastie. But it's usually bad form to steer members to another
board tsk!
and
BTW: from the horses mouth:
My qualifications; I have been involved in the tropical fish hobby for over twenty years, starting with the obligatory twenty gallon community setup. Over the years I have kept almost every kind of fish, in setups ranging from community to Biotope to saltwater mini-reef systems.
My "fish room" had a high of twenty tanks ranging in sizes from five to fifty-five gallons, with different breeding species, and home made wet-dry filtration systems. I am currently running a twenty nine gallon Lake Malawi Mbuna Biotope, a forty gallon live plant, community setup, a fifteen gallon salt water mini-reef and a ten gallon Neon tank.
The information I post here will come from my experience, and a large reference library. If you found this site helpful or want to make a comment please sign my Guestbook.
So there is his qualifications, the site owner. His 20 sure beats my combined 5..unless I counted helping other people over the years..then I can say I have 30 years experience at the end of this year...
I have helped breed over 46 differnt species. Sucessfully. I have kept personally only about 6 until this year.
And no I am not dissing the dude. I like his site and go there on occasion. And by setting up a help site on his own he shows his concern for fishys everywhere. Nothing even slightly personal, I am crabbing at you because I just think your post was not apporpriate. If you know nothing..say nothing. That is why you'll never see Christmasfish giving any advice on breeding rams or posting in the saltwater forum. i know water hubandry, I know labyrinths, kois and fancys..and a smidgeon of pirahnna and oscar. and unknowns that prolly are named now. "I don know nothing about no gobies dat are missing scarlet!"
lr" means living room to me.
okay..no harm no foul I guess. but try to give thsi site a chance to grow instead and the members that do keep that fish can answer..there are SOME of us ya know...
