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.
Peter,
The photo I provided was of one that I took myself on Friday. I too was interested to know if we really came up with the “real” deissneri or not. If your identification is correct, than it appears we have not. 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. This clearly must be the case if the photo he is using was taken in 1970’s! I’ll work on getting an actual good photo of more than one of these today. Then perhaps we can solve this mystery…

Peter,
I did not have anyone reply to this. The guy we are getting fish from out of Singapore also shrunk his Parosphromenus list quite a bit. He now only has the following:
Parosphromenus Sintangensis
Parosphromenus Deissneri
Parosphromenus ornaticauda
Parosphromenus Sp. Blue LineWe still have in stock ourselves this:
Parosphronemus parvulus
Parosphronemus ornaticauda
Parosphronemus fiamentosa (few)
Parosphronemus deissneriI know we don’t plan on ordering for probably 2 more weeks. So hopefully he’ll be able to come up with some more. We have had P. nagyi in the past just so you know Peter. Anyway, if any one would like to get a hold of some of these fish don’t be afraid to contact me. Thanks again Peter for the help!
I should also post on here what we are currently available to get through our suppliers. If any of you are interested in any of these, please feel free to contact me at sales@wetspottropicalfish.com. I send out our master list every Friday. We are always wanting to know what people are looking for. So please don’t hesitate with your questions. Thanks!
Parosphromenus Parvulus “Red Spotted Pygmy Licorice Gourami”
Parosphromenus Bintan “Bintan Licorice Gourami”
Parosphromenus Sintangensis “Green Speckled Licorice Gourami”

Peter,
Thank you for very much for posting my notes on this website. I find it to be very rewarding to know that you took the time to acknowledge my efforts to make Parosphromenus species more desirable among hobbyist. Mr. Goldstein has recently introduced me to this website, and I look forward to learning a lot more about this beautiful fish myself. I tried about 2 years ago to keep a pair of Licorice Gourami’s in a 5 gallon with some Boraras brigittae that was successful for about a year. Sadly I had to move and the fish were returned back to the shop. I am currently getting ready to set a seamless 12 gallon long for yet another Licorice Gourami Biotope. I am eager with anticipation for this next project. I believe I have decided on Parosphromenus parvulus for this tank.
I have posted a picture of the P. deisnneri that we were sent. I will admit to not knowing too much on these species myself, and when I had wrote these notes I should have done a little more research before completing my notes. Perhaps this picture of one of the fish from our holding tank can help you identify the correct species. Though I am well aware it is probably too young too tell.
Hope all is well!
