I recall when I was much more active in teh hobby that htere were quite a few apistos available and generally in many different stores. I recently am trying to get back into the hobby in a bigger way and want to get back into the apistos but am having a hard time finding them. It is really ahrd way up norther where I am but even when I get to Calgary and Edmonton there does not seem to be a big selection. Is there still a good following of the dwarfs? I know when I lived in Calgary there was even quit a few folks in the club there that were breeding anumber of different apistogrammas. There are a few species that used to be popular that even seem to have fell out of favor, spcifically macmasteri and steindachneri. Let me know what you all think. It may be harder to get back into this side of the hobby than I thouhgt. Look forward to others thouhgts on the matter. DWaynew

Has anyone had a problem using silica sand as a substrate in SA tanks?? I ahve had an issue lately with high PH. Any thought if this could be related to using silica sand as the substrate?? Dwayne

Hello all from up in Northern BC. Looking to get back into the hobby more serious again after jsut living with a couple tanks for the past few years. Main interest is SA specifically discus and dwarfs (Apisto's are a real favorite) Good to see a forum like this going and look forward to fish fun and friends., Dwayne
