Mylossoma duriventre

[edit]

Created by Chiswick Chap (talk) and Cwmhiraeth (talk). Nominated by Cwmhiraeth (talk) at 07:06, 10 January 2016 (UTC).

  • Length is short but fine and it has enough refs and no picture is offered. Its well written but main hook is not very interesting and the alt1 hook doesn't work for me. Migration usually involves a journey (could this be explained?) and I cannot see how to correct the alt1 hook as I cannot see similar words (and a reference) for this fact. Need to check and rewrite the hook I think and add a ref for it. Thanks. 22:50, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
The fish's migratory behaviour is quite unclear. How about Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:25, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
  • ALT2:... that the silver mylossoma, an Amazon basin fish, moves into seasonally flooded forests?
  • ALT3:... that the silver mylossoma, an Amazon basin fish, feeds on fruit and seeds?
for alt3 I've looked at both of these. The first is mentioned in the source but the sentence referenced talks about Varsea Forest which isnt mentioned on that page at all. The second hook talks about eating fruit and seeds which is in the source (for adults!) but the article talks about juveniles eating them. Ive changed the article to make it fit.
