The name “deissneri” is definitely wrong. The real deissneri have been never traded commercially up to the present day. It is much too complicated and expensive for the fish trade to go to the island of Bangka only for this species. And the catchers don’t know the differences at all. Often, they throw all fish together in one box if at the first place the result was only poor. So they like the places where they find spec. Sentang; there are many of them.
You can see the peculiarities of male true deissneri easily in our species account.
Good luck and try to breed your spec. Sentang (and the others too, of course)! Could you describe the males or better make some photos?
