Hi Pete!

1. Do you mean that you have two strains each of the above
or are you saying e.g. that the aggies are called peruvian blue,
and that they are wild. Are the cockatoos both red and orange on the
same fish? Living in Japan I am unsure as to terminology
of breeds of apisto.

2. I remember you as saying that some wild apisto you brought back
from Peru was thought to be a new color form, at least to the US hobby.
Did that turn out to be so? If so, anything published about it?
What species, what were its characteristics?
