So, I suggest that this fish should not been provisionally named “spec. rubrimontis/tweedie/opallios” but “spec. name of the trader and 2015”. [/quote]
Thank you, Peter, for the suggestion on how to refer to these fish and for the history of the use of that naming convention with the species from Mimbon Aquaristics imported in 1998.
Following your suggestion, these fish should be referred to as Parosphromenus sp. “The Cichlid Exchange” 2015.
Although there is a business association with the retail outlet, Wetspot, The Cichlid Exchange was the importer, housing facility and seller of these fish to me, and therefore, according to the suggested formula, should be part of the provisional name.
Also I received some more paros from the same source, but of a pair of this new variant, the male did not survive the overnight shipping and that was the last of them. So I have one male and at least four females.
Here is part of the new group
