Hi Aidan, Paro’s like black and white mosquito larvae (in Red I want to warn), daphnia, cyclops, Moina, to name a few. Even Caught lining waters with fish stocks can bring in diseases, live food servings from the market may contain substances that kill the fish. Most surely you feed your fish with even feed farmed life, such as Artemia nauplii, daphnia, cyclops, mosquito larvae from rain barrels, Grindal- or Walther worms. The basal diet of most breeders are Artemia nauplii.
Good luck StephanHallo Rod,seven years ago I´ve had the same problems like yours. I bought 40 semiadults “P.deissneri, catched in Sumatra” offered by trader. 14 days he hold them in very hardness waters, together with Bettas and Trichogaster; they all died in my care. Last year I got 1,1 tradered P.tweediei, – no results. Best waters, many plants,caves, best food, but no nests or frys. Nobody knows,that the females are right the same species. I think, it´s very dangerous to produce crosses between unknown species/subspecies or “cf” species.At example P. nagyi “Cherating”./.”Kuantan”. The “Malawi-cichlids” should be a warning for us! ID´s by Photos are risk and difficult, because in flashlight. The really day-or sunlight produce another magical effects. I think Helene is right, you should wait any months, if happens. Why not, shit happens! I learned, “Trading Paros” are lost Paros!”
Best wishes and exquise me for my bad english StephanHallo Rod, it´s very difficult to find the ID by a photo only. I believe, it´s a fish into the harveyi-group. The booklet SPECIAL ISSUE 1 THE LICORICE GOURAMIS by Peter Finke, published by Anabantoid Associotian of Great Britain (written in English) and the book Prachtguramis (P. Finke – Martin Hallmann) can help you. Best wishes Stephan
