Hallo Rod,seven years ago I´ve had the same problems like yours. I bought 40 semiadults “P.deissneri, catched in Sumatra” offered by trader. 14 days he hold them in very hardness waters, together with Bettas and Trichogaster; they all died in my care. Last year I got 1,1 tradered P.tweediei, – no results. Best waters, many plants,caves, best food, but no nests or frys. Nobody knows,that the females are right the same species. I think, it´s very dangerous to produce crosses between unknown species/subspecies or “cf” species.At example P. nagyi “Cherating”./.”Kuantan”. The “Malawi-cichlids” should be a warning for us! ID´s by Photos are risk and difficult, because in flashlight. The really day-or sunlight produce another magical effects. I think Helene is right, you should wait any months, if happens. Why not, shit happens! I learned, “Trading Paros” are lost Paros!”
Best wishes and exquise me for my bad english Stephan
