**Simon** · 4th Apr 2002, 09:55

errrr... got plenty to go around.. I just grab the nicest looking A. hongsloi, thats all.. imo, i dun like this batch of fishes.. the strain looks weak for some of the species.. according to andi, they r supposed to be wild, (which i wanna believe) he told us that the fishes is from south america to germany, then to SIN

I can man? if i can, i would have create a apisto fish room

**A. Moae** · 4th Apr 2002, 11:03

Haha...[

] You guys are really into Apistos now, ain't you. I have to agree that Simon's the Apisto man now. Eh fren, maybe can moonlight as breeder and earn some side $, dun you think? Give those LFS a run of their money lah.

Anyway, wild Apistos cost a bomb. You guys think the germans will not keep the best ones for themselves. Most stocks we get here are commercially bred ones. If you hear someone say they're wild ones, take it with a pinch of salt. [

] Simon, you still have any A. agassizii 'Tefe' females? One went to heaven and the other's down with some eye sickness man. [

] She's still ok but, dun wanna to take the risk.

Guys, Sunday or Saturday? You know lah, married man like prisoner. Let me know again can. [

] BTW, saw the new arrival list for H2O and noticed A. sp cf 'Cruzi'. Hey guys, if you have disposable income, buy it. That's a new specimen! V. nice colors when they show & easy to keep.

**kenzo** · 4th Apr 2002, 17:45

krkrkr... if got girlfriend is prison, marriage is death sentence.

**candidi** · 4th Apr 2002, 22:57

Just out of curiousity Simon, This there a different between red and blue Taeniacara candidi? I think all candidi has a certain amount of both colours. Therefore I think it is more of a marketing gimmick, so that LFS can charge a higher price for the fish. The same apply to Apisto macmasteri"red spot", look just like a regular one except for a fancier name.

**Simon** · 4th Apr 2002, 23:30

yup.. there is both blue and red.. its the fin color.. at first i thght its the same, but my mom notice the different in the colors.. the red will of coz carry a more reddish coloration and same as the blue.. unless they r cross bred b4

Hi Simon, about the 'Cruzi' question. Apparently, the germans discovered this new specimen. The A. cf. cruzi 'Red'. Habitat is rather widespread - Brazil, Columbia & Peru. Classified under the Regani group of Apistos. Not easily available in the market. I hope the specimen in H2O is labelled correctly as what it is supposed to be.
