Re: Apistos in the South!

As far as I understand,  6-7 degree C was the lowest temperature Staeck measured. But temperatures around 10 degrees C. were quite common.

Per,

Don't know how up to date is the info, but as far as I
remember the only known species living even more south than
borelli is "Paraguay II".
Whenever you're going there drop me an e-mail and take some
big bag. I can go as hand luggage ;-)

6-7 degrees - does it happen every year or was it an
anomaly?

Regards
Greg

the Borellis didn´t seem to bother about the very low
temperature. The activities and the moves of the fishes was
altough slower than normal.
