Hi all,
After spending a while breeding loaches and cyprinids in my nanos they'd all become pretty neglected and run down, so I am turning them over to Parosphromenus.
The first tank is now up and running. It has a false back made from coarse foam which acts as a mattenfilter, substrate for riparium plants, potential moss wall (if I ever get around to planting it) and also perhaps a refugium for any fry - I have included small holes into the space behind big enough for fry but too small for adults.
There are 4 young and currently unidentified Paros from my local shop. I think 2 males, 1 female and the smallest I am not sure about.
The males are currently showing turquoise edges, a turquoise dorsal ribbon and red/brown central patch on the caudal -
Whilst the female(?) exhibits a brown coloured dorsal band and little visible edging -
So that's it for now. I am hoping for some parvulus and perhaps opallios for the other two tanks, but my import is currently delayed until next month.
