I'm sorry Ken and folks.....yesterday another article was posted on the
Dave Soares page.........it was on A. juruensis:

http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/7918

do yourself a favor guys, go to the page and read the article and then
go find the fish........at maturity it rivals them ALL....believe the
picture and more.  I had a reasonably serious "dwarf keeper" at the
house the other night and he offered me his house and his wife for my
pair of A.juruensis..............I declined..;-).
