This would be the ideal solution, but there are a few obstacles, (aren't there
always?)  A lot of importations of Apisto's are from commercial sources, and
they are not always real eager to reveal the source of their fish, out of fear
that their competitors might horn in on their collecting sites.  Fish
collected by hobbyists could use this method, but that is an incomplete
solution.
Oh well.
