I thought they were different? I've heard elliotti as common name but I thought auerum was a different thorichthys species than maculpinnis? Eh, I could be wrong.

Actually I miss worded that. The 2 are often miss labeled or the Red auerum
is labeled as maculpinnis sorry
 
It was labeled as red auerum on the seller list. It's been id'd as a mac though to.. i dunno... they're so close. I really don't get hung up on name unless it comes down to breeding them.. guy who spawned the first blood parrot should have payed closer attention to names :/

The amount of jealousy I have because you have abacaxis is through the roof!!! So beautiful. Any breeding action with them? And how difficult are they in regards to water params and feeding? (Sorry for the questions, just curious because I'm interested in getting a pair for myself)

They're still young, under a year anyways. The isolated pair displays and does all.the apisto mating stuff but in don't think they're ready. Male.needs some more finnage to seal the deal;) I use ro water, low tds, humeric acid to soften it up a bit. Weekly 50%wc never apologize for questions. You should see what I ask on the apisto forum haha... i have no idea what I'm doing, luckily there are many who do on my cell phone!

Congrats!!! I'll be looking forward to watching them grow up. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up a few tips from you on how you raise your baby apistos.
