Hey guys,
Just a heads up about a few species sneaking in.
A. atahualpa
A. galaxis I (not sure about the name for this one)
A. papagayo
Well, I'll have to confirm some of the IDs when I get to inspect the fish, but I think galaxis and papagayo is one and the same fish.
This means I better set up my spare tanks for new arrivals
Looks like no inkas, but I guess I'm going the atahualpa and papagei this time around.
From the pictures I've seen in Datz, the papagei is about one of the most beautiful. Now I'll have to wait to see if the fish is the right one and whether its as good looking.
Cheers,
Vien.

Im already asking around as at least two fish on the list are actually the same fish..but it would be nice to get some new apistos in to Aus (even if none of them make it this far west)

There's a pair of A. papagayo around in one of Sydney LFS, but weren't top notch quality though (far from what's shown in the DATZ book in term of colour).

I assume the A. Papagayo is similar or the same as A. papagei and again these are the same as A. Algodon

There seems to be a bit of a difference in the quality of Atahualpa photos

Ohhhh more fish to drool over.
This darn appisto addiction has caught me.
I've got 31 already, and another 6 pairs on the way.
Time for lots more tanks I think.
Gonna need lots of help from you guys. I know very little about these fish, except that they are darn cute, and they have attitude - big time !Thirty-five years keeping and breeding discus, and I'm still learning :P

Yep, Mez, I'd say that classifies you as addicted! You've got more than me and that's including fry! Unfair. You've got some work to do to equal Thomas tho
