Hi all,

What is your water and tank set-up like? A lot of these species are a bit tricky and require very soft, high quality water.

A. elizabethae from the Rio Içana is not only very rarely collected/exported, but more colorful than the populations from the Rio Uaupés. A. meinkeni is a small pertensis-complex species that is interesting, but not especially eye-catching. If I were you I'd choose what you like.
