Re: pics of Malome/Mamore (???) & ID request

["Andrew Faust" <andrewfaust@alum.mit.edu>]

I checked the picture on the krib under the A. Resticulosa section, and
indeed I could see a resemblance to my fish.
    Thanks for the input everyone.
    Now the question is, should I feel disappointed that these are not
A.sp."Rio Mamoré"? I have little sense of how common or 'desirable' the two
species are - although I do like these guys, they look good in a
well-lighted tank.

Thanks again
Andrew
