    [quote=”RMP” post=1745]Ray, your fish have colored up or darkened more than mine.. What are the parameters of your water and ph, temperature? Did you lose any? I lost a few in the beginning.[/quote]

    Hi RMP,
    Sorry for the late reply.

    My water parameters are pH of 5.5, GH almost zero and temperature 26. They ave no substrate but Katappa leaves cover the bottom. To answer your second question, no I haven’t lost any. They were excellently packed by Glaser. I took them home and acclimatized them by drip immediately after arrival from the airport. They are fed several times daily with live enriched Artemia, moina and cyclops.

    Hi all.
    I took some photos of the male and female this afternoon. Like RMP I had them since December and like RMP’s fish, mine have also grown their tail extensions. What do you think please? Are they AMPAH or filamentosus?

    The female’s tail extension…

    One last question please. Is it common for Paros that the male chases the female in a somewhat aggressive way? Especially at feeding time.

    Yes RMP, my male have since taking the photo has also grown the filament but was waiting to take pictures first to be sure before mentioning it here. I was waiting for them to fully mature and then re-attempt identification. Thanks a lot for the photos. I will try to find some time an take some recent photos soon and then compare.
