Now calm down, Dave.  That's MY experiencce, not yours.  I'm not
tryingto say
you have it wrong.  It's just that I and a number of others have
moreluck in
pairs.
 Actually Bob I breed my Apisto's in pairs. You stated that your pairs
were "bonded" and they "missed each other" and "longed for each
other", not to mention a comment you made last week "i'd be hesitant
to use sand with apisto's because i've heard it will lock their jaws
and kill them" I know that you have your experiences and thats cool
but you seem to run into and respond to every question, honestly some
of your comments have been questionable at best and its important that
we dont perpetuate bad information for the benifit of those that are
listening and learning. This is not a personal attack on you and i
dont believe i need to calm down because i respect your experiences
but when false or ,misleading information is stated I believe it is
the responsability of the list to correct and clarify these errors for
the benifit of everyone out there. No hard feelings

Dave
