Incredible, isnt it .. the fish almost look small inside the film canister, and they are not that big. The photoes are really exceptional, rare that you get so close up inside the canister. The colours are a bit unnatural though 🙂 …
Yes there is a strange fish life in fiml canister sometimes, those are pics of a pair of Betta persephone

Film canisters (a pity: they are no longer easy to get!) are very suitable caves for many small fish, especially Parosphromenus. They normally swim; that does not matter at all. The fish look for caves, they find the canister and like it.
Nico’s pictures show P. parvulus “Tangkiling”. That is a location in the Palangkaraya-area. The original fish were caught by Olivier Perrin (Paris), as specialist of this species. Tangkiling-parvulus are quite nice because the males have rather broad whitish borders at the dorsal and anal fin. My parvulus are from Babugus, and the borders are less conspicuous. In any case parvulus is a remarkable species with it’s wild displaying dance and that head-up-posture. Most Parosphromenus display head-down.
Collect such film canisters if you can still get hold of them. The Paros love them, even the bigger species (not the biggest: qunidecim and real deissneri).this morning :

Off topic:
Are you sure the betta’s aren’t Betta miniopinna? The ventrals are too red for persephone…Those Betta persephone are the descendants of the persephone caught at Ayer Hitam, Martin Hallmann told me that with the generation they are more blue and the vetral are more red.
two pics taken by Olivier Perrin
