went there to have a look. same condition as previously.
most of the apisto are quite small, probably still juv.

Sounds like a Peruvian shipment with the typical peruvian exporter naming.
Good luck with finding the correct female for the correct species if they are all in the same tank.

**doppelbanddwarf** · 19th Jan 2008, 13:17

**trident** · 19th Jan 2008, 13:18

chongyu,
everyone is welcome! do come, it's been a while since we last met.

**Zenislev** · 19th Jan 2008, 18:11

Just got back from NKS. All the apistos are still kinda small in size, some looks like fry to me. I think only apistogramma eunotus is big enough for me to spot their true colors, the female eunotus is very yellow. The Sunset female also looks rather yellow in coloration.

**trident** · 19th Jan 2008, 19:49

just got back from NKS, got quite a lot of juves there.
The fishes were mixed up a little, I pick up a male and female
not sure what breed. I think it's apistogramma eunotus.
But prices reasonable.

Oh? They're selling at Per Piece if im not wrong, not a price for a pair.

**doppelbanddwarf** · 19th Jan 2008, 20:11

I got some goodies back from NKS too- a trio of Apistogramma inkas. Yup price per piece.

**Simon** · 19th Jan 2008, 20:18

I got trio of Ap. agassizii 'Flamingo' and trio of Ap. bit (juv can't ID)

**ccs** · 19th Jan 2008, 21:02

Hmm maybe drop by to check it out tomorrow.Still got any left after the raid by you guys?

**Simon** · 19th Jan 2008, 21:07

the agassizii has coloration, but no or any visible females left :P

**doppelbanddwarf** · 19th Jan 2008, 21:23

Haha when I just entered the shop I saw 4 guys squatting in a row vigorously netting fishes from the tanks.
I looked high and low in the agassizii tank for a female after Simon raided it and there was not a single visible female left....
