Added behavior section edit
 | This article was the subject of an educational assignment in Fall 2013. Further details were available on the "Education Program:Washington University in St. Louis/Behavioral Ecology (Fall 2013)" page, which is now unavailable on the wiki. |
I added the behavior section and put the previous information under an Aquaculture section and edited it slightly to give it a more encyclopedic tone. The information appears to be from an avid fish breeder speaking from personal experience with T. moorii and has no citations. This should be fixed. Wenamy (talk) 04:23, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
- Great additions! I only made a few simple grammar edits and tried to remove your use of parentheses to express ideas that could be included in the main sentence. I agree that citations are needed to the "Aquaculture" section. I also added a hyperlink for "pair bond." Besides that, it was a very well-written article. I believe you could make it to Good Article status upon the addition of other non-behavioral details about the organism. Keep up the great work! Claire.Edelman (talk) 18:06, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
- Great job! Your contribution to this page is quite impressive. That being said, while not your job technically, this page is lacking in anything BUT behavior now. I edited your page in terms of grammar and the flow of the article. At times it seemed a little bit too segmented, even for an informative page. I took out (this species exhibits serial monogamy) from your territorialism section. It seemed unnecessary, in addition, there is a link to the definition of serial monogamy. P. polyodon used repeatedly is a bit distracting unless one clicks on the link to find out what it is. As such, I simply added in a sidenote of what P. polyodon (a cichlid) was for those who read this page. Liu.Alexander (talk) 18:33, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
Nice additions. Your sections on behavior are informative and well written. I changed some of the formatting so that some of your sections were Subheading 1 level rather than subheading 2 or 3. If you think these sections logically fit under subheadings in the article structure please feel free to change them back. Wow, the aquaculture section is completely unsourced! I know that wasn't your section, but if you decide to try to take this article to GA you'll probably have to find citations for that whole section or just remove it and rework it. This article generally needs a lot of work to get to GA, though I think you covered behavior pretty well and you would be covered in that area. Andrewkamel (talk) 03:18, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
Very well organized and very well written. The information is very well separated to make in easier to read rather than a block of text even though there is a lot information in each section. I changed the sexual selection and color morphs heading to be under mating and reproduction since it seems to fit much better that way. I changed some wording and found a couple confusing areas and them be clearer and easier to read for the people reading the article.
