Ap. Wapisana, availability in europe?

[P.W.]

Have anyone seen this small species (Ap. wapisana, before "Balzfleck" or "Courtship spot") in europe?
In stock lists, shops or at some fish breeder?
I have been looking for a couple of years for this little strange species, but I have had no luck in my search. Actually I have not been so active with my aquaristic interests for about a year, so I´m not completely updated on what species to be found in the market today.
If someone have any information, please write!

Best regards/ Per

I originally had this species in 1984. The next time I saw it was 2002. It is such an unspectacular little fish that it just doesn't have much commercial interest.

I had this specie about 4 years ago (F1 specimens bred by Charly Eon)

Unfortunately, I didn't succeed to breed them, and I'm afraid this strain has been lost (confirmed by Charly).

Thanks a lot for the information guys. Just sorry that noboby know´s about available wapisana´s.
Gamelle, do you have more photos from your fishes? Actually I have seen very few photos on the internet of this species.
Perhaps you can also contribute some photo to apistogramma.com species descriptions.

No, sorry, no more picture, they was very shy. It was impossible to get a decent picture.
