Re: why only males?

[Mike & Diane Wise <apistowise@fgn.net>]

Bolek,

Here is my guess. When your juveniles were
collected, they only kept the larger specimens. It
is common for any apisto under 1.5 cm to be left
behind. Most of the larger specimens are males.
Therefore mostly males were collected.
