Any idea when new stocks/shipments will arrive in NKS?
Heard from rick the new shipment will be due in 1-2 weeks time.
Rick, the owner?
Not Rick, should be Ric.
I think the owner should be the his fatherwho is always at the shop
The 2 sons are running the show.

Was ay NKS today, heard from the 2 sons that shipment of apistos will arrive on the 8th. Just a few days from now.
Hopefully they bring in more fair sex ratio..
If not those early birds can get to choose the best pair..

It is not easy to keep WC apistogrammas.
A lot of work and care needed.

NKS's apistos are wild caught. however the sex ratio isn't up to them. They order by the box per species and the exporter packs them. That's why you can't get even sex ratio and you often get contaminants in each box. The fishermen catch them by the netful and categorize by the most numerous species per box
I really wonder how one & differentiate between WC & farm-bred apistos?

Very simple,
Most wild caught one will not be as nicely colored as farm bred one.
Captive bred can choose mate, WC mostly do not choose mate.
But the male must be the alpha one.
