I’ve been three times in Malaysia and have brought every time Paros.
Basically, nothing should be taken from the wild and exported to other countries.
Paros do not always come in black water before, paludicola for example, alfredi and rubrimontis occurs in clear water, and certainly a few other species. But most of Paros are sure to find in the black water. The equipment will be used for the fish is clear. Safety net, waders, container to collect the animals during the catch, transport containers and fishing bags or containers for the return journey.
We have mostly caught Paros on the first or second day in Malaysia and then in part three weeks transported to return them home alive.
Transports we have the animals in 18x13x5 cm flat and transparent bowls with lid, can be bought anywhere in household goods for a few cents, you can very well be stacked in styrofoam boxes. As transport water we osmosis water that you can buy as drinking water used, in every night we did 80% water change and now and then fed to a bit with Artemia.
Nets You can save you just need space in your suitcase. In the budget shops there are great noodle sieves, to purchase up to one meter in diameter, for a few €, prefer to take 2 pieces, otherwise you are angry when damaged a screen at the biotope you. With the sieve under the riparian vegetation, lift and shake the bushes, Paros then fall into the sieve. With a band I have bound me a bucket with a lid around the belly in which I then collect the fish and herziehe behind me. I am indeed in the water and start in the riparian vegetation and would have to bring every time out of the water to the fish in the box to the country.No Panic, that’s ok, I have never seen the killed themselves Paros.
You’d need to get used to each other for a while. Just let them in peace it will come.For me this is so, only the breeding pairs have their own aquariums. Also caves only get the breeding pairs. So I can pretend, who with whom, and especially when. This should already have a little system, otherwise you bogged down in 14 different types of Paro.
It’s best to do 2 or 3 girls and a man that always works.
However, has the disadvantage that you sometimes eggs and larvae in a nest have, ie you can not recover the larvae without the eggs to destroy. Sometimes it is enough also one of the two partners to tzauschen, preferably the man who is bein brut business most stressed and can even tolerate a break.Yes they can. The larvae live partly in water that is still sour.
I even put an extra reason to. I have two pans that I display fittings to get the eggs with nettles.Exactly, so I do it also, just on the water surface at the young Paros, better food can not feed you.
Genau, so mache ich es auch, einfach auf die Wasseroberfläche bei den jungen Paros, besseres Futter kannst Du nicht füttern.
Hello,
I have another question to Günter Kopic article. He says: Ideally, you should buy six to eight half-grown juveniles and let them mature together.
Assuming both sexes are present, loose pairs will
form at the onset of sexual maturity.I have a group of 9 paros growing together in 50×35 cm base tank. I have one exceptionally beautiful male and one quite big and nice female within the group. Even though they are probably not fully mature yet (the females do not seem to produce eggs yet), I was thinking about separating these two animals and forcing them to form a pair as from my +2 decades of ornamental fish breeding experience these look like the ones I should go with to produce bigger clutches and the most beautiful further generations. I also would like to separate the male as he seems to be bossing other males at least to the extend that they are much paler when he shows around and its seems like there is very little chance they would try to breed as long as the dominant male is in the tank. Does anyone have experience with housing a group of adults in such a tank? From my observation so far it seems like there is very little hierarchy within the group below these two specimens. Everyone is just keeping a little space for himself and if they meet each other even the females are able to chase away other smaller animals no matter what gender they are. So should I just wait untill (or if) they start spawning and separate formed pairs, or separate the most promising couple and let develop another dominant male in the group tank and go on? Thanks for the answers. https://www.parosphromenus-project.org/media/kunena/emoticons/cheerful.pngTrue, shrimp are safe in the biotopes, the main source of food.
Everywhere I’ve caught fish in Malaysia or India, there were also lots of shrimp.
Just the Paros surely among the smaller members of the fauna will be dependent as feed of small shrimp. Since Paros mostly live in moving water there is probably hardly Daphnia could eat them.Moreover, it is not speak English is no problem, there is the Google Translator, I use also, otherwise I could not read your posts and not respond. He translated not always good, but it is to be understood.
I think that Günter Kopic so wanted to say that the number of bacteria (number of bacteria) can be kept very low with no setup, sand and leaves. High bacteria count = no or little pups.
I got about 20 years ago my first Paros by Günter Kopic and propagated since hundreds of Paros and even brought from Malaysia.
In a few species, for example, like now with deissneri and previously also in ornaticauda, I also have complete plants, leaves and ground away, just to the water parameters to control better and better adapt. But that is certainly not necessary. So far I could multiply all Paros, except deissneri with soil, leaves and plantsSo I think that we should not be so “petty”. My Nagyi “Kuantan” I have myself caught in the dorsal fin have a black dot. The animals I’ve trapped in “Cherating”, a dorsal fin had a black stripe. In the habitat of Kuantan but occur both Variannten.
Well it all looks really good, they feel comfortable and show color.
Beautiful Paros you have :cheer:So I would also say that there are Kuantan. Have the animals caught twice even in Kuantan and breed the strain still. The fins are but turquoise metallic and depending on the light incident see the fins different colors from.
