    Mixed apisto's

    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???

    That's so wrong its not funny. The amount of problems that store will cause is a disgrace.

    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!
