Dear Mike, People at my LFS that imports variety of fish are just making a mess, I think. Thier emplyees don't know anything about fish, they only know how to bag them to the customers! I got a trio of Apistos which, at first, I did not know what they were until I came back and check it out at The Kribs. On the tank, it was just said "Apistogramma" and that's it! I just really want apistos so I bought them, just cannot wait til the end of the month when my friend will be back from Singapore. Someone here said that "Big Yellow Band" might be Nannacara anomala. I look at the kribs and they are quite familiar the ones I saw. I thin that 'Big yellow band' probably refers to their yellow bellies! Would that be possible? They are sold for 500 baht each (about 11 us$) Is this a rare species? Should I go for it? Arthit >Arthit, I have over 300 names given apistos, but 'Big Yellow Band Apisto' is a new name to me.
