Apistogramma viejita vs. Pseudocrenilabrus nicholsi (vote!)

We ordered from apistodave previously, and the livestock was top notch, but there was a problem with the shipping charges. Aaron will remember better what the exact issue was.

Yeah, we had payed for express shipping and DHL dropped the ball and didn't ship on time. Dave wasn't great about getting us a refund (never happened). Anyhow, it wasn't a huge deal and I've emailed back and forth with him lately and he seems to have forgotten about everything.

He'd be the guy to go to I would think.

Well, those honsloi got too pricey. I found these at AC today and picked up a pair. A. viejita 'gold'. http://www.aquaciclidos.net/nuke/userpi ... d%20p2.jpg

How much, Aaron? I feel like my apisto needs a dither fish, like another female.
I was selling these Agassizi at PVAS auctions and got like 14 and 8 for reverse trios, 2m 1f.
such a deal!

These were $50.00 for the piar minus 10% as a GWAPA member. Kinda steep, but not bad when I considered the regular viejita were $20-$25 a pair online + express shipping.

I got the last pair from AC though. They had trifaciata there as well and the usual cacautoides pairs.

Andrew sometimes has some nice Apistos at SCALES so you might check with him too.

Yeah I got my Panduro pair from SCALES and I hope to come home to little babies in the tank. Really beautiful fish.

Thats cheap for a good pair. I recently joined Apistogramma.com's forum and have seen several wild pairs going for over 100. Not saying that I would pay it but Aarons right about the next day shipping costs.

Yeah shipping's the killer. I've been looking at some Pseudomugil gertrudae from a breeder about 20 miles away in Jersey. $20 for 5 pair which is dirt cheep but $40 for overnight shipping. Still about half of what AC wants though.

Cheers.

I would say I feel bad but since he is within 20 miles is driving out of the question? Its the trying to buy from Texas and Florida that really drive you crazy...grrrr
