I thought it was a stirmi? Not saying you’re wrong, but apophysis are hundreds of dollars here in the US and it’s not something someone can easily get a pet store unlike stirmi. it’s not uncommon for petstores to lie about the name as well
The fact that you got a T. blondi makes up for the loss. That's the best T in this this order and the Theraphosa of them all in my humble opinion!A few new additions for me, all spiderlings. Unfortunately my tiny P. cambridgei did not survive the journey today, which is unfortunate because it was one of the ones I was most excited about.
Of the survivors, we have:
Eupalaestrus campestratus
Caribena versicolor
Theraphosa blondi
With a bonus take-down, or "how I bribed my T. blondi to stay in its enclosure:"
The T. blondi is definitely the one I was most looking forward to, but I kind of wanted to race it against the P. cambridgei to see who would reach 5-6" first.
A shame that you lost one of the Ts you were most looking forward too, but on the bright side they're very readily available, which can't be said about the other Ts you got. Hope you get yourself another P. cam soon, sorry for your loss but congrats on your other additions!A few new additions for me, all spiderlings.

It's legs on one side are damaged, but it's moving around ok. Got it in a fruit fly box with a cork bark slab to hide under. Hopefully it'll moult and fix it's legs at some point... It's very strange, but I still find native spiders creep me out, but not any of the tarantulas. 
Mystery freebie identified - Ceratogyrus marshalli (Mozambique)! Which is wicked, since I'd been eyeballing that when I placed the order but passed it up for another sling. Finally, my very own unicorn!!And one unsexed mystery T - looks like the label either came off or the seller intentionally left it unlabeled. Hm....

Here she is, she is very Purdy, and has already covered the floor and wall of her enclosure in a thin layer of web.Adult female Chilobrachys fimbriatus arriving today.
Unbelievably stunning tarantulas that make their enclosures stunning too.
Hi basin, just realised that I've watched a lot of your videos over the last few weeks while deciding on getting the CF or not. I really hope mine makes as much web as your girl has.
She will.
Suspect?! These are pretty darn easy to ventrally sex at this size. If you posted a clear photo of the underside of the abdomen to the Epiandrous Fusillae gallery, I bet someone could tell you in a few minutes what you've got.
