Bill,

For some additional information. Kirt Zadnik, noted dwarf cichlid
expert, wrote an article that was published in the American Cichlid
Association's journal, the Buntbarsche Bulletin, #147 (December 1991).
The article is titled; The Black-fringe Apistogramma, Apistogramma sp.
'Schwarzsaum'.

Hope that helps.
