There''s some great looking Apistos coming out of SLS in Sydney right now, a few wild caught and they will ship anywhere.  I''m not sure that too many people on this forum
eed Americans or at least it never used to be that way.<

>If you''re after some of the rarer types of Americans SLS (Slippery Little Suckers, Kingsford) is the way to go.  Website here. Apistos here.<

if you''re looking to set up a relatively peaceful, lightly planted tank go with some of the larger South Americans.  Angels, surinamensis, severums, thomasi, bolivians etc  These should be available around the coast. I have some nice "local
ed" black lace angels if you are interested, though angels are available pretty well everywhere!  <

Some of the dwarfs are extremely placid very colourful and easy on each other and tank mates, rams, apistos etc etc<
