    Dear forum members,

    The Paro Distribution is trying to find fish for me, but I thought I would appeal here also and maybe find a member who currently has a surplus and would be willing to sell and, if necessary, to send them to me. I am in the Netherlands, close to Amsterdam and, due to disability, unable to travel.

    After much searching, emailing, and telephoning, I have learned of at least one shipment of Paros that has arrived in Holland and is being distributed to shops.

    However, I have been warned that there are two risks involved in buying from a shop:

    1.
    Possible weak/sick fish — it won’t be noticeable until sometime after they are living with me. Then they will die. 🙁

    2.
    Possible incorrect determination. I would like to know what I have (and where it comes from).

    Private emails from people have been divided, advising me to buy the fish from a shop/Don’t do it! Quite frankly, this has my head spinning!

    Even if a fairly reliable determination could be made, what if I ended up with sick and dying fish? Would that mean the aquarium would have to be thereafter completely emptied and disinfected?

    As these will be my very first Paros, I would be happy with any species available. I am an experienced aquarist who has successfully kept rare/difficult species of other fish in the past and will do my utmost best to care properly for my Paros.

    Help?
    Interested persons can send me a PM.
