We have indeed not seen Paros from the island of Pulau Lingga hitherto. It is not suprising that there are some occuring. Thinking of the past 10.000 years it was included in the big landmass of Sundaland, now being an island between western Malaysia and Sumatra, just like Bintan or Bangka.

Let’s see if we get more pictures. This one shows the fish not in full but in in frightened colours. The location is new to us; whether the species is too, one such picture is not enough. But many thnak to you, David, for posting it. The Japanese have played since some decades an important role in Paro aquaristics. They found pahuensis or spec. Parengean a little earlier or later than Europeans.
