Very cool, I don't keep apisto's but I really enjoyed all the photos and narrative of your trip. How was that chicken soup?

 

[tjudy]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing. Please let me know when you plan another trip. After Gabon (next week!) I would like to go to South America.

 

[dconnors]

Too cool! Looks like you had a good time. And tjudy is going to Gabon!? That sounds like an adventure as well. Hopefully there will be many pics of that as well?

First:Thanks for the nice feedback, everyone! I'm glad you liked it.

.....are these two the same fish?

No, I don't think they are. The yellow chested ones show a yellow chest here too, and the overall bluish ones stay bluish:

.....How was that chicken soup?

The soup was nice. There was something in it, a part of a chicken.....or something else. We gave the meaty "thing" to the fisherman :biggrin:

You don't need to wait for my reports, Hudson, you lucky guy have these habitats and fish right in front of your doorstep!
I use Firefox, I would definitely try that, Hudson! Good luck!
