I understand what you're saying Sam but this is a forum and as such you are always going to encounter vastly different personalities. You have to accept that and the fact that you are going to come accross many opinions and temperaments that differ from your own.
To be fair to mamafish, she also provides some very good, specific advice along with her, shall we say, little idiosyncrasies.
It very much is a term of endearment and I thank you ferris! ps, I'd have trouble spelling it too Adam, (the not so new kid on the block that knew how to take my coment well and is a good sport) I wish you could take another shot of the fish, i'm not convinced its an afra. does it have a petitness to it like afras tend to have compared to other mbuna??
Thanks for all the posts its been very informative.
I will post some more pics of the crap afra later and if anyone wants to know what happened to the crap labs i found a shop that is willing to take hybrids and it has a good reputation its called yo sushi.
wait a minute - i say that the fish looks like the one in mark 7161 < numbers?> profile - and am swiftly punished as clearly i do not "know my mbuna". then - a page later , and the same people who told me not to be so stupid are now deliberating as to whether it is the fish in marks sig. unfriendliest section IMO
