Quatermass, thanks for uploading the fish images. We need to clarify their legal status, though; some have no information and some seem not to be free. Please see Wikipedia:Possibly_unfree_images#December_5 and help us sort out their status. Thanks. —Tkinias 10:54, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Alteration

Ok, I've now modified my copyright notice on this page. Hope this is ok.

Hey there! Thanks for helping on this. What is the status of Image:Glass fish.jpg? It still lacks a copyright tag; do we need to delete it? —Tkinias 20:45, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Yes I think we should delete it for now as I can't be 100% on its copyright position. I believe I know who the author is and will ask them for permission. It's rare to find a picture of an un-dyed fish of this species so I'll persevere. Alternatively if my own dyed fish survive, I'll have some un-dyed ones in 6 months time! --Quatermass 09:49, Dec 23, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] African dwarf frog

I was concerned to read in African dwarf frog that they should be fed bloodworms only once a week in captivity, as that's what I've been feeding my frogs exclusively. Could you point me to some more information on this? Thanks very much! Rosemary Amey 05:32, 20 January 2007 (UTC)


See The Aquarium Wiki Encyclopaedia - DAF :-)

There is also the Yahoo Group - DwarfAfricanFrogs. --Quatermass (talk) 18:50, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Triops longicaudatus (talk)

Hello Quatermass,

I noticed the comment you left on the talk page for Triops longicaudatus. I see that you run the website MyTriops.com, so I believe your comment on the fossil record. Now that you mention it, there might be some other unverified facts/claims in the sources I used. Do you know any reliable sources I could use to improve the article? Thanks.

By the way, your Triops website is great, and was a lot of help to me when I raised my tadpole shrimps.--Crustaceanguy (talk) 00:48, 26 January 2008 (UTC)


Not really. Most of the accurate reports are expensive scientific journals that I can't justify buying just for a wee peek and a few professors who have contacted me privately and have answered a few questions.

I suppose I could contact a museum in my own country to see if anyone knows more on the prehistoric history of Triops longicaudatus. Triops cancriformis is well documented though if you look around.

[edit] Record for Triops life span

Hello again, Quatermass. Do you know what the record for Triops longicaudatus longevity is? I read on one website that it is 100 days, but I can't remember which site it was. And my tadpole shrimp, Demeter, is 105 days old today (she hatched out February 22). --Crustaceanguy (talk) 12:46, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


Don't leave comments here please, I rarely visit this page. Email via mytriops web site.
