Re: 'Big yellow band' Apisto?

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the reply. I feel like I'm learning everyday about this
wonderful fish, and you're just one of my teacher! :-) I'm surprised that
demestic bred apisto and more expensive than wild-caught one. Here in
Thailand, for African cichlids, wild-caughts are much more expensive than
domestic-bred!

>Nannacara anomala, commonly called the Golden Eye Dwarf Cichlid, frequently
comes in labeled as Apistogramma. They are actually more closely related to
dwarf acaras (Laetacara) and the true Cichlasoma species from South America.
You will notice that they have larger scales than apistos. They behave similar
to apistos and are wonderful fish that are easy to keep and breed. It is not a
rare species. Your cost is about normal for the more common domestically
raised
dwarf cichlids.  In the US wild caught Nannacara (and apistos) sell for half
this price.
