Apistogramma Borellii

[soybean]

Umbrella apistos... Just wondered if anybody is keeping these fish and if so how you generally find them? I've been looking into their care and requirements as I fancy having some dwarf cichlids, from what I have read these seem slightly more tolerant of a higher ph (which I have) than other species?

Lots of the photos on google are very nice close ups, but I do like seeing prospective fish in general tank set-ups to get a better idea of what they may look like, if anyone has any photos?

Gorgeous fish and i have customers looking for them desperately but their prices have shot up in the last year...

I seem to remember them retailing at £4-£5 a year or two ago, now they are more like £16 each! Mainly because only people breeding them are Germany and europe and they always charge an extortionate ammouint.

£16 each?! Good grief! Pity, as I don't think I can afford/justify nearly £50 on a few fish. They are lovely looking though...
