Hi all,
Todd from Mountain Fall, Virginia. Long time avid aquarist. Have had all kinds of aquarium setups over the last 5 decades. Maintained a thriving 125 gallon reef tank built into my basement family room wall for 15 years. As unlikely as it sounds, I became bored with it and changed to a native tank with darters, minnows and sunfish. It has been by far my most enjoyable tank ever. I currently also have a 30 gallon tank with tetras , a silver angelfish, and lots of live plants. I have been bugging my LFS to bring in some Apistos that were close to something wild caught. Just recently they had a tank full of "assorted" apistos. I picked out the boldest one and took it home. I will be posting pics when I get some for ID help. Looking forward the joining in the conversation on this forum.
Todd

Good to see you here too Todd. Whenever "assorted Apistos" show up (often wild), if you have any hope of breeding them without hybridizing, it's a good idea to get several because you may never get a positive species ID on some of them, so finding a mate of the same variety months or years later might be nearly impossible.

Welcome, Todd;
I'm in Linden- not too far from you. In fact, I have family in Mountain Falls. It's nice to see there are others in the area interested in Apistos.
