What is with these prices for A. diplotaenia? They are found in the middle Rio Negro (as Steve mentions) which is a heavily exploited area for ornamental fishes. Our group (in '96) caught a number of them (so they are not rare at all), but there was little interest in bringing them back. Had I realized at the time they were so rare in the hobby, I would have brought some back to spread around. Maybe next time! Lee Vancouver, B.C. Steve Waldron wrote: > > Hi folks, > Wow!
