Thank you all for the replies! I understand the confusion better with names, and species, and forms, and types. Wew!!
I guess the best thing to do is order some on Monday and wait and see what arrives in the surprise package. They usually send very small fish..except for the small parvulus which were young adults.
The fish are being offered by the “Wet Spot” here in the states… they usually get Paros every week or two, which is nice… the only regular source available that I know of. He never knows exactly what is coming into stock, since I believe that they are all ordered as Paros gouramis. Examples are the spec Ampah which as young fish came in as Filamentosus!
(which I still believe are Ampah as they are showing no signs of reds or browns)I must wait until I see actual spawning behaviours.
