Re: Mamore

[mfjacobs <mfjacobs@geocities.com>]

Apisto folks........about a month ago I got some fish from Julio.  Great
fish, but that's not what I'm asking about...;-)  My A. sp "Mamore Blue"
spawned and there are about 30-40 wigglers.  Question...I also got a
pair of "Mamore reds"....they were smaller and are just now coming up to
breeding size, but will I get "Mamore Reds" from the "Mamore Blues" or
are they seperate from one another or does anyone know
yet?............great fish folks.  Very stately....very proud upfront
fish!  How close to A. trifaciata are they.....has anyone decided yet?

Second question.........It seems that A. veijita morph II (spelling?) is
making somewhat of a comeback.  If a person gets what looks to be
exactly what the books call V morph II.......and a spawn happens what
percent of the young will look like the parents?  Reason for the
question:  Two of my buddies came back from the ACA with picture perfect
A. veij. morph II's .......young, but something you would die for!!! 
Now......another friend of mine came back from a trip and bought some
supposedly A. veij. morph II's and quite frankly they were absolutly
dissapointing. I would have paid serious money for the ones from the
ACA, but quite frankly not really very much for the ones the second
fellow brought back, and the second group were almost twice the size of
the ones from the ACA...........and the ones from the ACA have already
spawned, and we are wondering what percantage of the spawn will be the
GOOD morph II males......10%...20%...70%...????

Thanks folks

Mike
