Forget all advertizing as deissneri. Although the photos are not sharp, this fish is something like P. spec. blue line. Very different from deissneri. You see true deissneri for example in our book in brilliant photographs. It’s the typical nonsense of the traders who simply use this oldest name for nearly all species of Parosphromenus. True deissneri has up to the present day been never imported commercially but only by private breeders that visited Bangka. There is no commercial activity on Bangka at all. The male deissneri is strikingly unique by structure and colour. See our species section.
But your fish is nice, strongly coloured and you should try to breed them!
🙂 Thanks, Peter. I will be trying to breed them! OK, so if he could be p.spec blue line, with the strong red markings (at about 2 cm long), then what could my old male be? He has very rarely ever shown any colours other than blue. He’s fully grown at about 3-3.5cm long and even when he displayed for his mate he used to look pretty much the same as usual, just a little bit darker. He seems to have little white ‘tear drops’ in his caudal fin, rather than a strong line. He is the one I am trying to find a mate for, so I want to try to keep to the same sub-species.
