[quote=”DaemonEater” post=530]I see now. I knew that he ships to others in the U.S. I guess I had assumed we were really one of the only ones bringing in the cool stuff.[/quote]

You still might be – the World is bigger than the USA :woohoo:

[quote=”DaemonEater” post=528]I am curious to know how Colin knew that our supplier was using this photo? I had not really paid attention to his stocklist pics as I believe he is just taking them from the internet.

Simply, because I use the same supplier. 😉

I find them to be by far the best for getting unusual anabantoids

[Colin]

Heh, it’s never easy!

I’ll try for males later 🙂

I think you have certainly highlighted a problem Peter, which was my original intention by posting the photograph…

It is very difficult to accurately buy and then sell many of the Paro. species available and give a true name for the species on offer. Personally I am not complaining as I have become accustomed to this and usually have to employ a bit of detective work. I

I promise to take some pics of the “deissneri” I have today and this evening I should be taking delivery of sumatranus and linkei so lets see what that brings 🙂

Colin

PS This is not just a Paro problem – My Parasphaerichthys lineatus were sold as ocellatus and often Bettas are not quite the exact species sold either.

[Colin]

I have some from this batch and will try and get some pics of my ones this weekend to compare

[Colin]

Hi

this is the stock pic that the exporter uses for “deissneri” on their stock list

cheers

Hi Peter

well, on the 1st of october I was at the AAGB conference and I took down groups and pairs of P. ornaticauda, deissneri, sumatranus and, of course, lots of Bettas.

I think that there are still quite a few Paro-lovers within the UK 🙂

P. linkei has just appeared on the import lists again so I reckon that will be my next species to try – I once bought P linkei at the IGL in Holland 2008 but the female died on the way home 🙁

Tom, I still have 3 Sp. here from your batch – all female so cant sell them to anyone, they are yours if you want?!

[Colin]

Hey Tom

glad to see the tank and fish are being displayed over here too!

cheers
Colin
