Hello Lawrence, thank You for this information. I bought 10 pcs. They are in a very good condition, I will post some pictures later today. Few males are clearly visible, few females also. To be honest, they look like P.bintan indeed .. But I’m not a specialist – Martin is for sure ..:)
Best regards!Hello, my pictures of P.nagyi below… If You wanted to have bigger file – let me know I will send it. One remark… All pictures You can use but with my name on it..( Marcin Chyla)
Greetings!Hello, I would like to add picture of my P.nagyi .. I have them from Stephan Menzel and He got them from Bernd ( is it correct..?). So this is the Kuantan form..
Hello, I also thought about this kind of solution.. but I would like to do “two tanks in one”. One 40 cm tank will be splitted on two parts using the acrylic glass. In one part I will set up paro pair with all leaves, java moss, cave..and the second part I will manage in the same way but without paros. After a spawn, I will pull up the acrylic glass and gently move the female to second part (she will swimm to it alone without a any net and so on…) Then after a few days (when the fry will hatched) I will remove the male… It is like having two tanks but without any stressed catching fishes by net after spawn…
And one more thing – I have the same experience with P.nagyi – only 3 pcs of fry I had from one pair when I left them in one tank…(extensive breeding )
To compare – P.linkei I had about 30 fry from one tank (extensive breeding method)
P.cf.bintan “Blue Line” – 1 fry…:) – that’s why intensive method is needed..:)Best regards

Marcin ChyłaHello, I have a question Peter… I such a cases could be a good solution to put large numbers of this mixed fishes in to a quite big tank with a big numbers of caves. And carfully observe them and allow them to choose the pairs… Then could we be shure that male of P.sumatranus will choose female from the same species..? or any female will be intrested by him..? In first example we could seperate this pair and we could be sure that we have a pair of P.sumatranus…and other species…

Hello Everybody, to be honest I also wondering about keeping my paros outside during summer period. In my 100L ( 1m long) outside the house tank was plenty of any kind of microorganisms – what if I placed there one or two pairs of paros..) I think I will take a risk in this or next summer period. I can imagine how fast will fry grow when 24h/day something is swimming around they mouth ..:) Aquarium is placed under some wood roof and it will be covered by some net. Small insects can fly thru this net (mosquitoes) but bigger cannot (dragonfly..)
Greetings!

http://www.ekologicznerozwiazania.plHelo, Brine shrimp napauli are raised in a salt water..so, The conductivity of Your water incraeased by the solved salt… I wrote some of my expierience with this subject in some old topic… Conductivity of water in my young paros tank increased from 50 us up to ~500 us ! – but water hardnes still stay in the same level.. my young paros were doing well and there was no problems with them. Regullary water changes will solve problem of salt concetration..:)

http://www.ekologicznerozwiazania.plHello, yesterday I was catching daphnia and cyclops in small pound – I also caught this king of larvae (dragonfly ) and it was app. 6-7 cm !!! It was really BIG and I can belive that killing 10 cm fish will be no problem for them…
I hope You will remove them all!Thank you for quick answer. I will be there !
I also wrote information about census on Polish biggest aqua formu (cichlidae.pl)
Greeting!Hello, Yes but in much lower quantity – I just seperate the fry when I see them in the “main” – 2 pairs tank. P.linkei is much “efficient” in breeding 🙂
Very good idea Helene. I my example it could be a link because publisher have a rights to this article..
Hello, Thanks Helene and Little…I was suprised how many words about my adventure with paros is inside my head..:) Third article will be about Parosphromenus-project and my feelings to this great “Thing”. Publisher blurred out this article intensionally – it is a paper magazine rather than a virtual – after a 2-3 weeks it should be readable… Give me Your e-mail Little – I will send You my pdf copy of it…
