Re: apisto sightings in nyc

Tsuh, I can definitely relate.  I live in Nashville and apistos are expensive and hard to find here as well.  The best store in town finally got double-red and orange-flash caca's along with a pair of opal borellii - $19.99 ea. or $35.00 for a pair.  Ouch!  I traded a large SAE and a crenicara punctulatum, so ended up forking over $20 net for a pair of double-reds.  They also had taenaitus pelvicachromis "Moliwe" for $50.00 a pair!  Luckily, they do get kribs, curviceps, and blue-mask borellii (males only) fairly often for reasonable prices.  Incidentally (and off-topic), two of my curvi's are colored-up nicely and digging nests.  It's the little things that bring the most joy.
