Sarotherodon caudomarginatus?

Is anyone keeping Sarotherodon caudomarginatus?

Thanks,
Matt

Not that I am aware of.

There is a great article by Dr. Melanie Stiassny on this species in Cichlids Yearbook Vol. 6, pages 53 to 57. I would recommend you purchase a copy of this fine book and check out this article. It will surely give you more information on its systematics, husbandry, and spawning that you could ever imagine.

Hi Matt

Just checking up to find out if you obtained Cichlids Yearbook Volume 6 yet?

[dogofwar]

I did not..

I'll see if it's for sale at the ACA convention!

You can also acquire this volume as a pdf at cichlidpress.com

Hi Matt

So, what do you think of Melanie's article?

[dogofwar]

Hi Mark,

I have not. Not really interested enough to invest $22 in a pdf...

Matt, do you mind me asking if you have a book collection on the cichlids you are interested in?

[dogofwar]

Books, what are those??!

Seriously, though - I have plenty of books on the cichlids and otherfish that interest me (many signed by the authors). And have access (as a member) to CRC and ACA resources to boot...

Do you own any of Konings's Cichlid Yearbooks?

[dogofwar]

Probably...I know that I have several of Koinings's books...and Lamboj's on West Africans...I don't currently have access to a lot of my books (moved earlier this year)...so can't give you a complete list.

The fish in question (Sarotherodon caudomarginatus) was the fish on the home page of CRC when I logged in one day in April...and I had a passing interest whether anyone was keeping them.

Why the 3rd degree?
