Cichlasoma Ornatum Journal

[mattlee]

so you play him at his own
game you say you will have
the last three as you cant
afford four at full price
ask him if hell let you
have it at half price that
way he clears a tank and
you get your fish he probably
as a mark up of 300% on these fish
and if he was to sell it to
you cheaper he'll still be making
a big profit

lets just say thats very much like the deal we have agreed

 

[the biffster]

good now push a bit harder
for a bit more off

 

[mattlee]

is there a common name for the Cichlasoma Ornatum?

 

[kaivalagi]

A Common name would suggest they're common would it not

Best I could find was on fishbase: http/www.fishbase.org/comnames/CommonNamesList.php?ID=47064&GenusName=Cichlasoma&SpeciesName=ornatum&StockCode=39631

Spanish of "Macho" = "Male"
German of "Esmeralda Buntbarsch" = "Esmeralda cichlid"
Mandarin = "Shizhuangliti fish"


So I think your fish if they pair should be called Hunchback and Esmeralda

well Mark if things go well and they survive and spawn they might be available again

a breeding pair ( or better still 2 ) from your group would be awesome mate . bet youd have no shortage of punters

i couldnt leave 2 there all alone

got a bit of a deal too on the last 4

here are 3 still in the bag, the other was at the other end

 

[mattlee]

well the new arrivals all seem to have settled in ok even with the lights on

i even got to look at them for longer than 2 seconds. typically i didnt have the camera

 

[star4]

They probably will be more confident in the group.
