I agree with you in many of your thoughts, I have the same thoughts for the danish scene, – but I must say that in my last five years of myself being very enthusiastic about parosphromenus it still has not really developed this way. A few shops have become better in getting good quality licorice gouramies, – but the people I have known which have taken it on, dont last very long. One problem is the food for sure, another the fact that they dont breed, and therefore die out.
Getting the fish to breed is difficult on a regular ‘basis’ I quess. And in particular for ordinary people, so they end up with one or more same-sex fish, and then it ends there.
Maybe also the fact that there are so many different species makes it difficult, – because its very often not the same the next time you find it in a shop.
