Again I should like to ask if any one knows whether the t r u e deissneri from Bangka is on any stock list in Asia? Clearly, that name is to be found on most lists, but the fish sold as “deissneri” are not that species. We have only a few pairs left in Europe; it’s a pity. Even some good breeders have lost their stocks during the last year by accidents or Oodinium. The real deissneri are very impressive fish not to be mistaken for another species. And sonce it is endemic on Bangka island it is highly endangered. We should and would give it full attention.
