Re: Apistos

Don't be so sure that there *has* to be a pair.  I had almost twenty
juvenile A. cacatuoides, and all of them were male.  I think the tank
was too warm when they were fry (it is temp. that determines apisto sex,
is it not).  I hope this isn't the case for you, but I thought you
should know.

Good luck!
