Yes, beautiful fish. I don't know why but panduro is still my favorite Apistogramma.
However, it looks like you have got papagei(female) and pebas(male)(or am I lookong wrong). Are they swimming together?

A nice collection!!

I think it's quite uneasy to collect all these beautiful fish in the States.

re to Blueblue

Hi Blueblue Yes a few were lucky finds the pertensis, gephyra, steindachneri, pebas. Others are more readly avail panduro, nijsseni, trifasciata, agassizi, cacas, and such I am lucky to have an LFS 4 hrs away where an employee has a villa in S.A. and he and owner are avid collectors and they make sure or try to get not so common apistos in stock at the LFS. And I also keep an eye on the online LFS and aquabid. The sellections are getting better here but nothing as you guys have.
