Re: Ocean Aquarium & Mayland and Bork

[Dan Gottsegen <dgotts@linex.com>]

I have been away from my computer for a bit so have missed the thread
until now. Scott, glad to know that we started this a bit. anyway the
phone for Ocean Aquarium is (415) 771-3206. I believe there is also an
(800) number,  (800) 677-8278. the proprieotr is Justin Hau, and he does
ship.

Mike,  thanks too for the words on multi generational broods. I will
remember that idea to remove the male so that new breeding doesn't occur
and then remove the female when the fry get bigger. The female
definitely is trying to nail the first fry, but she doesn't seem to be
able to get them when she sees them.

I have looked at the pictures of the ACA prize winner again and indeed
it is much like the one in Mayland and Bork, caudal extensions, very
yellowish intense color, etc. I have not seen any reference anywhere to
A. sp rotflecken (cf. viejita II) in Aqualog or any other source.
Aqualog does mention three types of viejita though. I am curious whence
the nomenclature? Also, the rotflecken variety is a captive bred (by
Huser?) type? If so is it derived from a true viejita? I know these are
general questions. I'm just curious, answer only if you have time.

-Dan
