NOTICE for U.S. members — Parosphromenus quindecim was listed on the Wetspot Purchase List last evening. I have been following the weekly list now for several years and this is the first time I have seen this species listed for sale. It is a great opportunity to obtain a previously unavailable species
Hello, i saw them on the list and ordered 12 of them… Having had them now for almost 2 months, i don’t think that they are in fact quindecim. I would love to know if anybody else ordered them and saw too that they aren’t quindecim (or if what they received was in fact quindecim).
What i think they are? sp. Blue Line, nagyi, or deissneri is what i’ve narrowed them down to. The males haven’t matured enoughi think to fully color up.
Hi Pktybs
It would indeed also have been very surprising to see p. quindecim for sale in a shop. Wonder how come they suddenly come up with that name.
Its easy to rule out deissneri. That would be equally rare, – and it would have to show the spike tail, which is easy to see.P. nagyi is possible, – but again also quite recognizable, but of course the males will need to be mature. However if you have had them for 2 months, I would feel that you would have by now at least seen a glimpse of the brownish nagyi typical colouration.
sp. blue line, sp. bintan is probably more likely. These are fish that we see rather often, there are many variations, – so therefore the chance that it may be a variation is bigger than it actually being p.bintan. But they will belong to that type of fish.
I am sure, anyway, that Bill Little should be someone who might indeed know if anyone else has bought and seen some of the ‘p. quindecim’ at wet spot.
