Hello and welcome to the Project. We are very happy for each new member 🙂
Its good to hear that you have experience and dedication, we certainly welcome this too.
Apart from the challenges that you mention, I would add one more in the field of parosphromenus and that is the one of correct identification.
So although I gratulate you very much on your new parosphromenus Gunawani, I would be somewhat doubtful that this is indeed the case. I myself bought p. gunawani some month ago, – and they were absolutely not p.gunawani.
P. gunawani has recently been offered quite a few times in shops, and I have not yet heard of one which really was P. gunawani 🙂 ..
This is unfortunately the situation (and challenge) with these species, they are often labeled with wrong names, and we then have to figure out as best we can what are they really. Of course this is unfortunate, but it doesnt make the fish less interesting, its probably just another species, – in my case – a beautiful p. bintant type ..
So next challenge 😉 … is also photos … 🙂
It will interesting to see what the fish that you are getting are, – if they are indeed P.gunawani, in which case you will be very lucky, – and if they are not … what is it then 🙂 ..?
