Kribensis are also quite popular, and have been for many years, (as have rams) here in Canada. Apistos are becoming more popular as they become more available.
LFS's around here (when they existed) used to carry rams, checkerboards, kribs, and a couple other odds and ends quite a bit. Apistos weren't common, though there's now a place in SD that has well over 50 tanks of apistos.
