My first apistos

[yankeetim]

Hello everyone. I have been keeping fish for a few years and wanted to try apistos. My wife surprised me with these. Any help on what kind and seeing would be appreciated. Thank you.

Nijsseni can refer to a lot of things but i don't think there is a car called Nijsseni but i could be wrong.

Since i can't spell worth [pick your favorite word]; i pick whatever i think i can get close.
