Hi Guys Hey Mike the fish we talked about earlier this week I beleive is A.hippolytae. I think it's color threw me off, as all the pictures I have ever seen showed a rather drab fish. Though they are no A.hongsloi, but they are rather handsome fellows. ( I must however admit I have never found an Apisto i didn't like :]) It has a high backed body shape, a rounded caudel fin with vertical stripes. It has a distinct caudel spot. It has a golden amber colored lateral band with a very distinct lateral spot that touches the dorsal fin. The lateral spot is surrounded by a golden amber color. It has some turqouise colored abdominal stripes. It has a fair amount of yellow in the fins. I know they are coming out of brazil and were brought in with some A.pertensis and T.candidi. Just wanted to be sure. I have never had them before , if they are A.hippolytae, has anyone had any experiences with them? I would appreciate any info on them. Anyway I brought them home because they were with the candidi's and heck they looked like they needed a good home. === David Sanchez Casselberry, FL http://www.mindspring.com/~barbax barbax2@yahoo.com _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
