All the fish we have of this species go back to one single import about twelve years ago by giant-wholesaler Glaser (Rodgau/Germany). It’s one of the few Paros which where not found and imported privately but commercially, but in small numbers only. On the stock lists nowadays they are missing everywhere. Tell me one which is different: There is none.
But now we have great numbers of them, mostly in Germany only, however. To repeat it: They all are offspring of that single import. Therefore, the possibility to get across this species in the trade is minimal. But someone who travels to Berlin, Hamburg or Weinheim (to name only the best places) has no problem to get them. Shipping across the boarders is not really safe, because it may take one day, it may take a week also. It’s no problem with two or even three days, but you cannot be sure. The species is one of the biggest Paros; it’s shipping should be short.
In Berlin lives our best specialist of this species. He has hundreds of them in all sizes, at every time. But there are enough at other places, too. The Weinheim-breeders ship them, of course, but the experience with shipping across the borders is poor, (see above).
