    Tank Raised Apistogramma

    Okay, I'll might use you if you have any. Thanks . How much is shipping cost?. Apistodave said 20 for a pair and 20 for shipping. I just set up the tank today so it'll be like 2 or more months before I can get the Apistos. Which is why I said june.

    New arrivals - rare apistos available 2-21-13

    Thanks, , but my water from the tap just isn't suitable to keep these fish then, I was told Captive bred A cacatuides. Such as sunburst or triple red. I do know of a shop in my area that sells RO water but its far and unrealistic to use as a primary sourse.
