Hello Lawrence — photo did not come up on this post. Is it the same photo as you posted on a subsequent post? That one is a great photo.
I go back and forth via email with Gianne in San Francisco. She was do pleased to obtain the Paros from you on a previous visit to Seattle. Is your count on Allani up to 16 or 17 now?
I have been looking for P. Palidicola for some time now without any luck. There are some collectors up in that area collecting wild bettas but they have no interest in collecting Paros. I am told they were readily available many years ago in this country even in LFS thanks to a collection trip made by David Armitage (UK) and Tony Pinto (US). However, that line was not taken care of and has been lost unfortunately. I literature indicates they are relatively easy to maintain and would be excellent starter Paro for hobbyists in North America.
