hi was wondering if anyone could id my fish. I seem to have two different genus. any help would be most appreciated. hope these links work.
Are both species in the photos ?
I am not sure they are two different species, what makes you think so?The one in the first photo which seems darker probably is just a dominant male ?
Regarding species looks like these https://parosphromenus-project.org/en/sentang.html
But I am not very good at id’ing 🙂 – maybe wait for someone else .. but they do look a bit like them
Like Helene, I’m no expert in identifying any of these species. However, I have 5 of the fish that resemble fish in your photo. They were sold to me as “sintangensis” or “blue line” take your choice. It now appears that I have two pair. The dominant male has been in and out of his cave for several weeks now. The second male stays to the far rear of the same tank but is making his moves on a second female. His colors are no where near as intense as the primary male. Once a have a new tanks prepared and I’m sure I am not going to disturb the initial pair I plan to move the secondary pair out of the tank.
The fish on the pictures look very much like “blue lines”, at least in the dominant male. I suppose the other is of the same form.
The problem is the similarity between blue lines and spec. Sentang. They seem to occur in great neighbourhood and habe been definitely sometimes confused already in the trade business.
We cannot say it more precise. Only very big and sharp photos coukld help.
But the ventrals indicate blue line, too. And the fact that both forms are the most-traded Paros since years. Bot are variants of the bintan-species.
