This is rediculous pile of crap.  I helped collect the original brood stock
in the Alto Carinagua near the Puerto Ayacucho Airport, their is no way
these fish are hybrids.  Just because you couldn't breed them doesn't mean
anything except a lack of skill on your behalf.  I know Tim personally, he
is a good friend and not a schiester or hot tempered fellow in anyway, he
can breed any apisto he gets his hands on and has some varieties that you
will never see.  From what I have seen of this list, some members will buy
plenty of cheap farm raised crap because god forbid they would spend real
money for a fish, just for those who want to talk about hybrids. Tim Ellis
is a purist if I have ever met one and keeps good data from collection to
spawning charts on all of his fish.
