The sewellia’s are indeed not the most suitable fish to keep with paro’s. There are 2 sewellia’s in the tank, these are offspring of only 2-3cm long. They have been there for some time and I just do not have the space to move them. Sewellia’s live in hillstream biotope. When in spring the meltwater causes the rivers to expand and flood other areas, the sewellia’s move to still waters to lay their eggs. I agree that they need oxygen, every fish needs oxygen. I have been debating this numourus times on other forums. The paro tank has quite still water and the sewellia’s will be moved to a tank more suitable as soon as I can determen the sex.
In the tank of the paro’s there are also a lot of shrimp, I believe these shrimp do live in the same biotope as the paro’s. And I hope these shrimp can be an additinal food source for the paro’s. Now I feed them black mosquito larve and Daphnia pulex or moina.
