There are always many apistos at the GCCA swaps, the next of which is 3/2.

Looks like I'll be attending my first swap meet in a couple weeks then.

More apistos then you will know what to do with. If you are looking for a specific apisto then you might want to make an ad at the GCCA so a breeder can make accomodations on bring a few pairs for you to the swap. Nice apisto pairs do not last long at the swap. The only apistos that make it to the end of the swap are the double cacs. You can get double cacs at the end for $3 a peice.

I'm currently in the store. Here's what I could see...

Plants - seems to be a fe more since my last visit.

In the pond plants in the back, they have some anubias, nana, and baby tears growing on the wood.

Wood - there HUGE assortment of wood. Lots of large ones that I'm drooling over, which I know would look great in my 125.

Shrimp - looks like a few more RCS, but not much. Although if you're looking for RCS, there are allot of people breeding them, including myself. There are whisker shrimp, which I know nothing about.

Fish - I can't really tell if there are any new fish from my last visit, since I never really paid attention to them.

Just visited the store yesterday, and the tanks are looking much better, and more organized. The plant selection is also very good and healthy looking. They also had a new shipment of driftwood in, and some new Red Sea reef set ups I was looking at.
