I think you are both right – 🙂 ..
I have bred both albimarginata and malpulutta, – and they are still much more easy and ‘reliable’ than paros, though. But I guess it is possible to breed licorice gouramies in larger numbers if you really put an effort into it.
But another thing is that I really think that one of the purposes (just one of them ) of this home page is to continue to widen the knowledge of Parosphromenus, especially through showing real detailed and good photoes and in this way open up many more peoples knowledge about their speciality and their extreme beauty. Because that I am sure is the way to have people really become interested.
But nobody notices those tiny black and white fish when they are in the shops. They really need ambassadors 🙂 .. which is what I think we can try to be here. And I am happy to say that thanks to many people we have a lot of wonderful photoes, which eventually will be put in much more places around on the homepage. As of now its mainly in the species sektion.
