Armed with the a printout of the list of 50 apisto species I got from the http's mentioned a few days ago, I headed off to one of my local favorite stores to check out what they have. Note that deciphering the katakana script is hard enough for latin names, the varieties may be hoplessly garbled. Seems like a pretty good selection though. Comments?
