WTB: Apisto Panduro!

[Mr. Appleton]

Looking for a breeding group, 1M and 2/3F to go into my 40g long.

Able to pay shipping to Boston, MA.

Please let me know what you guys have!

Most people sell Apisto in pair as females seem to be on short supply. They are listed on AB from time to time.

Since A. panduro typically form bonded breeding pairs and not polygamous groups, you would be much better off buying 2 or more pairs and let the fish decide with whom they want to bond.

Thanks Mike, is it the same for A. nijsseni as well? I'm torn between whether or not I want panduro or nijsseni... Would you have any pro/cons for one or the other or both?

Thanks again!

Even though they aren't listed on his website, Jeff (aquaticclarity) may have some panduro.

Yes, this is true for all nijsseni-group species - and even more so for A. nijsseni. This behavior sometimes changes in an aquarium with no predators.
