I can agree, my P. pahuensis are rather secretive, too. Just similar to P. sumatranus. They always were the most secretive and shy licorice gouramis in my tanks.
But the pahuensis used always a small cave made from clay. Well: always? Maybe they spawned behind plant leaves, too, but I haven’t got notice about that.
Are there other experiences? Can anyone tell the same?
