Ouch! Julio, that's cruel & unusual punishment.
But then, discussing these topics
with Ingo can be cruel & unusual, too.

Frequently I'm all for this. BTW, Julio, what was
that lyretailed nijsseni fish
we saw?  You will have to find that fish when you
go to Peru. Sigh, so much for
banning new apistos.

It was truly a joy meeting and talking to old
friends and new acquaintances. It
was worth the marathon overnight drives to and
from Cleveland & Denver - 23 hours
non-stop!

After looking at the fish called A. sp. "Malone
(sic)" in the bowl show, I am more certain than
ever that A. sp. Malome is the same as A. cf.
resticulosa Mamoré Blue. I can't be absolutely
positive, seeing only one fish in a bare tank with
a lot of strangers staring at it, but that's my
guess. The red upper and lower tail edges are a
surprise.
