[Peter Finke]

If the opallios are an old strain, it is most likely that they are from Sukamara. If the alfredi are from Peter Beyer, they are from Sedili. Yes, the difference in parade-types is most striking. It is highly probable that the head-up licorice gouramis do belong to another genus, at least a sub-genus. The great puzzle is sumatranus. It looks a bit like the head-down paraders, but it’s parading head-up like parvulus and ornaticauda. And there seem two types to exist, a sleak one and a stouter one. But the male doesn’t perform that crazy zig-zag-dance around the female as the other two do.
