I guess we are all here. Regarding the A.bitaeniata they are a great fish to work with. They are not overly demanding inregards to their water parameters. I have spawned them in r.o. pH 6.2 and 100 us/cm. They have always been good parents and are I consider them a great Apisto for beginners because they tend to spawn rather readily. I am currently working with the red variety and they are rather attractive and I am very pleased to have a few spawns to raise myself. I have good success with a group in a 30 planted tank and they just raise up their young and have formed a really cool community. I really like these fish I hadn't worked with them in a few years and it's nice to see them again. I have been Importing quite a few so hopefully they will find their way to shops all over the country so we can all enjoy them. ===== David Sanchez Orlando, FL http://www.mindspring.com/~barbax barbax@mindspring.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
