where did you get the harveys? sewhr beautiful animals
Have harveys from Selangor, are not quite as blue, and even in the F4 gereration. :cheer:Hello Zahar!
Fantastic photos!
Till now I just managed extensive breeding, because I didn’t find the clutches (except my camping P. linkei 😉 ).
And I see that the juveniles I see when they start to show themselves, are already 6 – 8 weeks old! Thats amazing.
Now I know why some of you breed in very small tanks without any plants etc. 😉 … they are so good in hiding …The latest spawn (F3). The parent fishes are from the same batch as in the above photos. Cheers

Zahar, where did you get your harveyi from? Did you catch them yourself? The classic habitat (Selangor) ist partly destroyed now altough it was a natural reserve. But there should be remnants of primeval swamp forest still containing that fine species found by Barbara and Allan Brown in the nineties.
The original group came from the North Selangor Peat Swamp Forest, caught in December 2014. Yes, the area has undergone tremendous change but fishes are still there. At least in the surviving forest
Zahar, could you estimate how much peat bog primeval forest – compared with the original quantity of the northern Selangor forest reserve, taken as 100% – is still there in unspoiled condition: 50%, or more, or less? And what will the future be in that region? More destruction, or not? Will P. harveyi possibly survive?
