Mike Wise . . . or anyone!!!

I found these apistos at a local place. Sorry for the photo . . . they are in a plastic critter keeper.

Supposedly they are from a Manaus exporter (spelling???)

Thanks a bunch!

Great looking specimens and lucky find at LFS? Wow! Keep water parameters ultra clean on these!

I'm guessing you picked them up for a steal! They are easily worth $50-$60 each when you have both sexes.

Lucky Bugger, nice find!

Thanks guys!!! I kinda thought they were A. elizabethae. It's been many many moons since I've handeled them and I remembered a more spade shaped tail.

It was a good find and I think I have at least 2-3 females out of the 12-15 pieces I found!

Thanks guys!!
