Re: A. sp. Wangenflecken??



I too have seen some good bargains this way. About 20 years ago I saw a
department store tank with a Black Ghost Knifefish in it. The label on the tank
read "All fish $1.98". Obviously the Black Ghost went home and then to a fish
auction very fast! Even though incorrect IDs are good for some, what happens when
people advertise apistos for sale in the the ACA Trading Post or ASG
Apisto-Emporium with these incorrect name? You buy expecting one thing and get
something you don't want.
