Its starting to look like Matt has stumped everyone this week
Seeing this started last Sat night and still noone has got it tonight
Well Done Matt

Hey Matt can i have one guess please??????

Brad
Title:
Post by: ashhhh on August 28, 2005, 09:51:46 PM
heh -- was just checking :wink:
Title:
Post by: ashhhh on August 29, 2005, 02:22:47 PM
ok, smartarse you win   :lol:

...............seeing as though this is primarily an ....erm cichlid and freshwater fish forum,
would anyone else agree that marine species should be eliminated from the game?

Yeah I know one of my fish was a marine, but I think more people would be willing to have a go, cause it seem as though once it is guessed that its a marine fish, not many people continue to guess.

Its kinda boring being 1 of only a few people that do have a guess. It would be a hell of alot  more interesting, even if only 1/4 of the members on this forum had a go

- and no, Im not chucking a tantrum cause I didnt win 8)


just a friendly suggestion ! :D
Title:
Post by: Davies da fishman on August 29, 2005, 08:32:50 PM
hehe, yeh, thats not a bad idea ash.
so do i get to do another one??? or wot happens?
Title:
Post by: nemo1981 on August 29, 2005, 08:43:53 PM
i managed to guess a saltwater one once, however i think it'd be a good idea to keep it to freswater & cichlids as ashh has suggested. :wink:
Title:
Post by: Aquariums Alive on August 29, 2005, 10:56:52 PM
Yeah so everyone agress Matt wins
So as long as everyone is happy with me sponsoring this competition Im happy to provide some vouchers for the winners
So how does a $20 voucher for anyone who can go a full week un-guessed

What does everyone think about this discussion regarding marine fish?

Either way im happy to sponsor the competition though maybe some more interested will be achieved with a freshwater/brackish species only

Brad
Title:
Post by: ashhhh on August 30, 2005, 12:40:05 PM
All sounds good to me brad. :D

ps what fish were you thinking of davies? :wink:
Title:
Post by: Dyce on August 30, 2005, 04:40:50 PM
Another thing(although I think desty can only help with it) is if there were more posts per page, going through 4 ages of questions and answers on this board was the equivalent of about two on the other board. Just saves you getting muddled.
Title:
Post by: emiee on August 30, 2005, 05:04:52 PM
i dont imput into these threads by guessing but always read them to see what i can learn so i dont know if i qualify to comment but

[quote:7f899ae382]What does everyone think about this discussion regarding marine fish? [/quote:7f899ae382]

i personally am only interested in freshwater and cichlids as ash did suggest but their are two other forums - freshwater species and saltwater species that you may be able to utilise somehow to include marine fish.
its just a thought  :idea:

also
[quote:7f899ae382]maybe some more interest will be achieved with a freshwater/brackish species only [/quote:7f899ae382]
on my behalf its not interest i lack its just knowledge....

Post by: Davies da fishman on August 30, 2005, 07:58:35 PM
ok guys, the fish was a Sailfin Tang (Zebrasoma veliferum)
Title:
Post by: ashhhh on September 01, 2005, 08:29:37 PM
is it a sailfin tang (zebrasoma veliferum) ?     :lol:
Title:
Post by: ashhhh on September 01, 2005, 08:31:00 PM
erm, maybe you should have givin some hints so someone could have guessed it? like - are [i:30876d3f43]you[/i:30876d3f43] supposed to keep going untill its guessed cause now no-one (really) guessed it and you won and you've told the answer - who thinks of a fish now?
- I hope that makes sense   :?
Title:
Post by: Davies da fishman on September 01, 2005, 08:47:08 PM

Title:
Post by: Aquariums Alive on September 01, 2005, 10:44:39 PM

Brad
Title:
Post by: ashhhh on September 01, 2005, 11:09:38 PM
