Thanks Patrick and Peter for your acknowledgements. I also assume that Paros in general are slow developers. The juvenile phase forms a considerable part of the whole life-span. So patience is a basic requirement for breeders. By the way, some visitors mentioned that my juvenile Paros were grey and boring coloured fish. Indeed, colours only appear in adult males. These are seldom seen because they often hide in the breeding-caves. But in my opinion, it is fun to watch the juvenile-development. Even very small ones perform territorial behavior and have some “micro-fights”. Furthermore, young Paros are fearless and very curious. I like them!
PS. My P. nagyi-youngsters (Cherating, F2) will be ready for distribution soon (Location: Frankfurt)
