    cherabin,

    I got that pair a few months back and they are no longer with me. The male in the pic got badly injured by the brooding female and died soon after. The female also followed a few weeks later. I'm not sure if Toh is still breeding and selling them but these were beautiful and worth the money. Their borelli were also very beautiful.

    Was there last night but cannot recall seeing any dwarfs on the left side... Anyway, the Bolivian Ram's shape is like the Ram's... So, it looks quite different from the acara... Difficult to say without pictures...

    The price range should be about $20+ to $30+ for the standard type in the LFS. If you got more money then there's the premium specimens in the other apisto-specialist LFS. I think I recall a pair of trifasciata Guapore Red?? going for $120 SGD once.
