Re: Re colorful apistos

[Paul Evans <pm_evans@yahoo.com>]

This sounds very similar to the A. cruzi that
I have.  Orange caudal, abdominal stripes, orange
pectoral spot, very long dorsal, anal, and ventral
fins.  The body has obvious blue sheen with some
scales very bright blue.  I would not call it a 
bright blue over all.  I have been keeping them in
water that is near neutral (slightly over to slightly
under depending on the plants using the CO2 I am
injecting).  They spawned in water that was ph 6.8,
KH=2, GH=1.
