I'm a bit of a window shopper.....
Often visit shops just to have a look
Visited a shop yesterday.....noticed a tank full of juvie apistos
quite cheap @ $12 each
Looked for a little while at the tiny fish....biggest about 12mm....some were colouring up
I spoke to the shop assistant......the shop had ordered aggies and caucs.....but were told there was no caucs available
Then I told him....he had juvie aggies and caucs and nijsseni
at least 100 all in the same tank
Ordered from Asia....not enough aggies to fill the order so made up the numbers with other species!!!
I wonder how many people will end up with a mixed bag....thinking they are buying aggies
AQIS let them through as aggies???

I've seen mixed Apistos in an aquarium here in Melbourne, 3 species, cacatuoides, borelli and another I can't recall. The males weren't hard to distinquish except for the fact that they all looked mutated - I mean really inbred - the ugliest Apistos I have ever seen and....cheap as dirt at about $8 each!!! They should all have been culled in my opinion.

Went back for another look.....
Picked up a young pair.....of Apistogramma nijsseni
They even caught the ones I selected....which was an effort in it's self!
Bloody expensive though....$14 for the pair!
