I hope the idea was well received, and I have photos for sure, but not many species at this time. And that Michael will add his photos is really great – he is a true naturalist and photographer – he now has me interested in begonias 🙂
Here are a few photos of F1 P. naygi. Now ~ 6.5 months old ~2cm in length. Male and female characteristics clearly visible at this stage. There is at least one clear pair in a group of about 10-12 F1 young. This group is female heavy.
Appears to be one male and five females

I sent my F0 prime breeder female and a F0 male to Lawrence Kent some months ago, and they produced the dozen F1 young he has. The F0 pair I retained have not bred, but I’m hoping the female will come into breeding condition this Spring/Summer.

Thank you, Zahar 🙂 I feel the same about your photos – very nice work. It would be fantastic to see some more photos of your adult P. harveyi – both and female – please post some more photos if you get the chance! Such good photos as your provide much information that can be very useful about the characteristics of known paro species. I think P.harveyi is one paro that is under represented in terms of really good photos – there are a few out there, however, more would be great.

Hi David, the pair you gifted me produced about a dozen fry before the father died. I’ve grown them up, somewhat, and a pair has formed and laid some eggs, which unfortunately didn’t survive, but the future is bright. As they get bigger, better results are anticipated. Thanks again for the pair.
