| My
beloved apaches... I fell in love with them the moment I laid eyes
on the first ones. Keeping the line going, and creating a ST
version, as well as improving finnage have been the goals of the
last 6 years. A couple times, I almost lost the line :(. But today
it is going stronger than ever, more beautiful than ever and yes, in
ST version as well as DT. The ideal Apache male has a red/white BF
pattern and a piebald face with bright red body and remain (to me) a
DT. "Geronimo" the famous Apache male pictured above was
such a male. Apaches are very special and that is why so many people
have fallen in love with them all over the globe. Because of this
they remain hard to get because they sell fast. The piebald BF
specimen (rare) especially. Apaches can be solid red, red BF without
piebald, or even red with marbled fins (pretty!). I even got an
orange apache once :), as this line, way back then, did come from an
experimental outcross of orange back into red marble. Apache DTs
usually have exquisite, large, even lobes and are beautiful. They
also have great personality. Females are exceptionally nice, with
great DT lobes (very wide), and very clean color. On occasion some
males may be cambodians and not very red in the body. They get
redder as they mature.
WARNING! Some
people out there have been selling so called "Apaches"
that were NOT Apaches. Hence my current restriction on using my
lines name. Do not purchase these fish if you want Apaches. Apache
features can easily be lost unless line is kept pure, so Apache
genos may never produce good Apaches. Want real Apaches? Buy them
here. |
