    The following photo is of a fish I got in a swap. The owner thought for sure he was trading a Krib but as soon as I saw him I said "no way".. but for the life of me... Is it some sort of Apisto?...
    please excuse the reflection of my hand in the photo:Fish from a swap. Dscn2229

    Any ideas? Bill in Va.
    p.s. there are vertical bars that aren't too visible in the pic but then again they may be stress related!...(Idon't think so...)... Bill Still in Va.
