Thank you very much for your welcome, Helene! I have enjoyed and learned so much from you posts, photos and videos!
Yes I hope to breed them and see the courtship dance (at least) – some portion of luck would be a welcome addition to the endeavor. I will leave it to the experienced paro keepers to make the final call on ID – it is exciting that maybe they are something really different. But, as you say, we will wait and see.
These were not quite “bought in a shop” but obtained from a gentleman who sells many fishes. He got in perhaps over 40 animals from an importer, is my guess, but no further information is available from him. However this is a lucky find and Bill might be getting some as well. I will do my best to follow the instructions in PP forum to provide the proper conditions keeping and breeding. I will post more photos for sure – probably too many…as I enjoy photography as a hobby. The fish so far do seem to be doing well, eating and swimming about actively. So far so good.
