If you are interested in photographing Classic Cars ... you may want to put the Holly Springs Hollyfest on your calendar for the last Saturday of October.

With the help of Holly Springs Parks and Recreations dept. - I have gotten the thumbs up to organize a Classic Car Show right on the edge of the Festival in the SAME PARK!! :chillpill:

I am thinking about going to Fish World today and see what they have ...

QUESTION:
Does ANYONE know of another place (in this area) that sells (used are best) tanks that are 180 gallon and up in this area besides AquaMain in Greensboro? ... somewhere where that they are actually in stock ...

I am trying to line up another tank at the latest by December if not sooner ...

I hate just looking at photo's to see what it looks like - a little photo shop editing can make anything look better!
 
SuperScro, sorry that I not seen your post before or I did and forgotten to answer to it. But yes and no. For the most part of fish it self do have a difference to tell of their gender to were as eels, well for most or all I should sday is a dn a is your only way. You will find some who can look at a certain type of moray and tell you their gender. For as well, this person who I told him that the dragon eel he was to get is a female and I told him by no means im guessing.

The G. Tile eel is a pretty common eel many had through the years, just as the SFE.

Fish Pros? I not gone or asked them for anything for a good number of years not. For the most part of what I was trying to get with them, they couldn`t get.

PS, the next time I`ll need that lens is when we go to disney world with the kids
 
I know how to tell the gender of a snowflake.

Put a prawn into the tank - if HE eats it then it's a male.
If SHE eats it then it's a female.

LOL
 
OK, I took the lens back this morning and its not that much as $30 a day as one person there said it was. Originally, I was to pick up the lens last Monday and return it today and I paid for that time the amount of $120 and now I have store credit of $85, making it a cost for a weekend rental of $45.

I'm thinking that while I cannot buy my own digital camcorder and when the reef tanks are going with live stock that is, I believe that photobucket.com formats everything and ill rent this when these tanks are at most more then half stocked with corals

What happened to the dragon moray pics???? I thought that I was going to get to see it..... Actually, sexing dragon morays is extremely easy after they are about 14"+. The males have a strong red and orange blush around the cheeks, front of face, and on the dorsal ridge line of the body. females are much more bland and may have some red in the face area, but not much--and no red on the body. When they are smaller than 12" it may be difficult to determine sex because the smaller specimens are much darker than their adult counter parts, but put a male and female dragon next to each other and there is no mistaking which one is male and which one is female. You can also tell the difference between certain species of fish in this way. For example crosshatch triggerfish, whitley's boxfish, bluejaw triggerfish, and others tend to give the more appealing color to the males, while the females are less stunning. Thankfully, in humans the females look much better-----

Most experts in the field under direct study of these animals would tell you that you can never count to ID their gender simply by their coloration for as easy as that. I guess for some who has handle and studied these animals as long as myself and a good many others would tell you that is it easy. But as for your claim as for how soon or later one can ID a DME gender is not so much as scientific but rather in knowing what your looking for and color a lone will never do.

From much from your statement, I have to feel that I know exactly who you are but I can be wrong on that for you are sounding a bit different then usually sounding or rather in the remarks this one person often says.
But as for a photo, the person then at fish world was pulling my chain, I gotten out there and there was no DME to be seen other then a Richardson`s Moray and I not believe that the guy made an error on his thinking that it was a DME.

Now if you are this person I know, i told you a number of times that the DME are all different in the color patterns an coloration, so ID a lone in this method can be extremely difficult if one was to go that route a lone.

I also figured from that you are new here that it is a possibility that you are he who I know who always was trying to show me up, not within morays will this happen for if you are that person, you know that you only in that site where you were normally at and I know your bowing out of the hobby.
But if im of error here assuming your this person, and your not, then do please accept my apologies for I always figured this person to look to show me up if I spoken of eels to often enough, for this person I speak of hates me, so do think again if you are he.

As is Mr. "A", I am now mostly only answering eel questions by email these days> NO Thanks to "YOU"

DO have a Very Merry Christmas :)
