Looking For a Male Gold Severum  4/09/06
Hello, I have written you before as my pair began mating and mating  again.  
We had a total of 235 babies last August of which I still have  94.  I have a very sad note that I have lost my daddy fish.  In all of  my 20 years of having
fist, this is the first time a fish has gotten out of a  covered 75 gal tank.
I had a small opening of about 1 x 4 by the hanging  filter.  In the morning I could not see the daddy fish and in horror I  found him behind the tank.  I
am so sad and am hunting a special new daddy  fish for my female.  I live in Anniston, Al and have searched the net to  find nothing yet.  There is a fish
wholesaler 150 miles in Atlanta that I  want to visit to see if they can help me identify a male.  I would be lucky  if someone had one they knew was a
male.  My male was about 5 inches long  and a little shyer than the female.  He had pretty  orange streaks on  his cheeks and loved to be watched.  Can you help  me?
<Start with local shops. Call around first and save some gas money. Males usually kill the females so you have a better chance of finding a male then the other way around. The Atlanta Area Aquarium Association has many members in the area that may be able to help you. Phone numbers and contacts can be found on their website. Ken Davis is the Pres and cichlid enthusiast like myself and hopefully can help.-Chuck>
