A flashlight only:

We had for the first time ever abaout 500 true P. phoenicurus by commercial import in Germany. The import company asked the Sumatranian exporter to send some hundreds of the same species a second time; they responded: OK, we will.

Now the fish have arrived, again best condition, but no P. phoenicurus (from location Langgam); this time it’s P. spec. blue line from Sugai Tunkal (the location of “blue line”, a bintan-like variant).

What do we learn? It’s a matter of game/chance/fate what they really ship. The distinctions we make are of no importance to them. Paro = Paro.
