Re: Shell Dwellers?

["dominic stones" <apisto@planeteer.com>]

Ok. Sorry about the straying everyone, and thanks for the link Helen. I've
just gotten back into africans (not that i've left my apistos behind!) and
got a little over-excited.

But on an apisto thread (and an old one, from what i remember) I have found
what appear to be very suitable dithers for my caucatoides - Iratherina
werneri. I haven't had a spawn from my apistos yet but so far so good - the
thread-fins just flit around looking beautiful and bothering no-one. So
fingers crossed.

Also, can anyone give me any information on A. elizabethae? As in how hard
to keep, where to get them, what should i expect to pay? I can't afford any
new intros right now, but i'm making a wish list.

thanks and apologies
