I confirm what Bill has written to your question, Jacob. And may add some further remarks. Try to ask
askkeyfish@comcast.net and

That are US-companies that have imported Parosphromenus in the past.
In Europe (especially Germany) we have lots of P. paludicola (from different localities) which is a species rather easy to propagate and not as pretentious as many other species of this genus. If you will visit our first international meeting of the Project at the end of September 2013 in Hamburg you can have many of them.
But let me add that P. paludicola is not quite as spectacular coloured than many others. The fish from different localities look rather different and some are even a bit dull. There are other species in this genus that are much more eyecatching, and some are nevertheless rather easy to propagate.
I especially recommend for you three species in this respect: linkei, filamentosus and quindecim. All of them are bred by several good breeders and we have great numbers of them in Germany. Come to Hamburg and you will get them.
But they have been imported to the US before, too. Try the above mentioned addresses or the other friends in our project.
