Sorry for the first picsHi Peter,
I am just arrived, the male parvulus is keeping three non swimming larvae, he transferts the larvae in another place, so I can see them, I will try pics, in some minutes, I am preparing their lunch : artemia nauplii.the male tweediei is keeping larva too, he is chasing away the female : two pics :

Hi, the male parvulus is still defending te territory where they spwaned two days ago, I can not see anything, but he is very aggressive towards the female when she approaches. I will wait.
Keep hope… :unsure: I put some paramecium for a first food, it is Olivier who give me those african paramecia, I use themm for my other fish like Dario and Diapteron.Ok do not worry I only have the Olivier’s linkei
I am too sick to go to my lab today, so I take my cam : The parosphromenus tweediei :
excited male

Thank you 🙂
Now it is my linkei which are spawning tonight, Peter this is also a strain that Olivier caught in 2005
It is amazing the growth speed of those fishes, I have fry of 6 mm which are geting out of the leafs tonight they may have a monthThe most fascinating is the parade in males, head down for tweediei, and opallios afredi, color fins that contrasts with the body. A parade totally differene in parvulus, waw!
Hi Peter, thank you, all of those species I owe to you. your advice are very precious for me.
All I know, is that my tweediei are from Pekan, I think it is in the west of Malaysian penisula, it is a red strain of tweediei I find they very bigger than the tweediei i saw before.
The Parvulus are for Tangkilling coled to Palangkaraya, The male has red dorsal and anal fins, but the water is to dark to show you te color.
The alfredi do not know where they from, but it is Peter Beyer who caught them
The opallios is an old strain, there are not a lot of Paros still alive.I will do my best, in a first time I have to give back young paros to Olivier, and after I will diffuse, I hope that I will continue to keep that luck.
Thank youTransfert done, youngs Parosphromenus ok, I found 8 fry in the tank, and the male was keeping a nest. 🙂
Thanks for the advice 🙂 , for my P linkei I change 50 to 60% of the water every week, so I keep his water for the new tank. and I complet with new water. I think that the biggest fry born in the middle of november, Because during a absence, my girlfriend try to feed them and she does not recover the tank and the female jumped. I received a second female 3 weeks ago, and those fry are too big (1cm) to be born from a spawn with the new female.
I will transfer only the biggest fry, I do not want they eat the smallest ones.It is a good one 😆 , but no only 6 young Parosphromenus,, it is a great news for my first species.
The male is very aggressive with the female and the fry, I added new leafs in the tank, may be they spawned and it is protecting its eggs.
We will see later. I prepare a new tank to put the youngs into.Hi Peter, thank you,
I fi-ound a 6th fry this morning, there are a lot of leaf in the tank so I see them only when I feed. It is a beautiful species, I hope to find the other species that I search.
I will take other pictures after cleaning the front glass
