Helene is fully right. Every year when the breeding season in sundaland has ended, young Paros of some of the main catching grounds are traded by some central suppliers to Europe and the world. P. ornaticauda is highly longed for and presently available in some shops in Germany and in other countries. The problem for the P-P is not availability but breeding and sustainability. Until today concerning this species, this has not changed our efficiency in that. You can be sure that our members with really breeding experience will try to solve the puzzle. You are invited to join them.

By the way, with any species we prefer to strengthen the stocks with approved locality. In this species there is a rather big realm of distribution that may mean different local variants, that may cause those problems. At present, an Asian member of the project is researching in Kalimantan Tengah and probably will be able to tell us more in Hamburg on that problem.You are invited to join us there, too.

Therefore, postings as yours do not solve the problems; they enhance the usual mentality of want-to-have and keeping-to-death which marr the usual aquaristics. P-P is different.

I do not want to offend you, I want to make you conscious of the problems.
