Parosphromenus bintan ’Bintan’.For the new conservation project of Parosphromenus Project, we imported some Parosphromenus sample from Bintan Island. Collected by a local friend, who lives in Bintan Island.In a post from February Wentian Shi wrote in Journey to the water that some interesting observations of this imported fish, raised the question – or questions : Either the original P. bintan was not entirely blue, as described, but has a small interior band of orange red, – or there may be a second species/type on the Bintan Island.

I received one male and two females of this species in spring 2021, – with the intend of breeding – and try to document with photos.The breeding attempt was very succesfull, – the offspring now is around 60-70, but the documenting less a success. The male has spend most of the time in the cave, – and the few photos I have taken were not the best, – however heres a few of this very strong and beautiful species. Helene
