Re: differentiating rotpunkt vs honsloi and agassizi vs. norberti

Mike,

thanks for the help.  Hopefully I can get back to 
San Francisco again soon.

I didn't mean to imply that I am down on cacatuoides species-complex
fish.
I really like my nijsseni a lot.  She is not very
tolorant of the corys or even the two rams I have
so a shudder to think of melee that would ensue if
I added some other cacatuoides complex fish to the 
mix, especially a nijsseni sub-complex species like norberti.  

At the moment, I don't want a bunch of different
apisto species because while my tanks are quite 
underpopulated; I only have two tanks.  I cannot
seperate combatants easily; especially since I want
to use my empty 20gallon tank to breed.  I hope in
the not to distant future to have many tanks with
many different apistos but it is not practical right
now.

Thanks for the advise.  It really helps a lot.
