Sorry to hear about the CO2 problem and your loss of those nice fish - happens sometimes but never pleasant - hope your new apistos do well for you. You might be able to replace some of those you lost at the CCA auction next Saturday - or even this weekend at the PVAS meeting in Fairfax va
Oh crap!!! I was all with you with the Apist. borelli, HOT had some really nice ones a few weeks ago as well. Really wish I was ready for them then, but I am now. Then, oh NO!!! So sorry about the crash and burn! Big time bummer!
