Speaking as a judge at many fish shows, you have some nice fish David - excellent body form, and symmetrical finnage that is of standard length. I agree with Darrel - too much emphasis on color to the detriment of body shape and fin length.

It is a part of man's nature to try and improve on the natural-----thx Mike:wink:

Some new things coming up--one pretty soon and one in a little bit--you asked for some pics-but knowing how competition is in the Scientific world--well you know. Be assured though, as soon as I can you will get material.

I really work on the boday and fin shape. the color is easy. Ibeleive also--it's probably irrational that very soft water increses the lappet length too.

Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.

Hi,

just in case you happen to live in Germany (or Netherlands): I have a wildcaught female A. psammophila, you could have it for free. I have no use for it anymore.
