jody, the reason why apisto sightings are newsworthy around here is because in the last few years there's been a lot of pet stores specializing in fish closing down... we had a recent discussion about it in the aquarium list. there's very few nice stores left in nyc, the chains are taking over and one of them is HORRIBLE... help!!!!
