Re: Considering these apistos and I'm New!

Hi Lianne,
Those prices are about usual for a retail store. Around here they are
anyway, may be different in other areas.
Sal just got spawns of Hongsloi, and Panduro, where are you located? The
10 may be ok for a pair, I had a pair of cacs breed multiple times in
one, but I usually like to do at least a 15, with a 20 long being the
tank of choice. You'll get different opinions on the tank size, some
people use small ones, and others have better luck with larger ones. Me,
I like whatever works!! by the way.... where did you get cory hastatus?
Been lookin everywhere for dwarf corys!

Welcome to the group....
