	Chester Zoo, UK. For a number of years now, – since 2014, we have established a strong relation to The Aquarium Team in Chester Zoo, UK. Chester Zoo is maintaining at the moment large populations of Parosphromenus paludicola, and Parosphromenus linkei. Chester Zoo also have smaller populations of a few other species.
