Peter,
Thank you for very much for posting my notes on this website. I find it to be very rewarding to know that you took the time to acknowledge my efforts to make Parosphromenus species more desirable among hobbyist. Mr. Goldstein has recently introduced me to this website, and I look forward to learning a lot more about this beautiful fish myself. I tried about 2 years ago to keep a pair of Licorice Gourami’s in a 5 gallon with some Boraras brigittae that was successful for about a year. Sadly I had to move and the fish were returned back to the shop. I am currently getting ready to set a seamless 12 gallon long for yet another Licorice Gourami Biotope. I am eager with anticipation for this next project. I believe I have decided on Parosphromenus parvulus for this tank.
I have posted a picture of the P. deisnneri that we were sent. I will admit to not knowing too much on these species myself, and when I had wrote these notes I should have done a little more research before completing my notes. Perhaps this picture of one of the fish from our holding tank can help you identify the correct species. Though I am well aware it is probably too young too tell.
Hope all is well!
