The P. fil­a­men­to­sus are from trade, and was bred by Thomas Beu since 2010.

The Parosphromenus Project have estab­lished a coop­er­a­tion with Aqua­zoo Düs­sel­dorf in 2021, and received Parosphromenus fil­a­men­to­sus from Thomas Beu, — a long term mem­ber of PP, — and in the Fall Cen­sus 2021 Aqua­zoo Düs­sel­dorf reported suc­ces with breed­ing these, with 30 off­spring. We con­grat­u­late Aqua­zoo Düs­sel­dorf with this. It is a great achieve­ment, and helps us secure this par­tic­u­lar line of P. Filamentosus.

We also wish to thank Aqua­zoo Düs­sel­dorf for donat­ing a big sum of money to us, — we are very grate­ful for this, thank you

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

Mys­te­ri­ous as Nebula

If jueli­nae is one of the most beautu­ful species in my eyes, kishii is cer­tainly the most var­ied species I have ever met until now. The cau­dal fin pat­tern of kishii is never same. On the certer of the dark red cau­dal fin, there scat­tered many irreg­u­lar blue blotches with ran­dom sizes, which form ran­dom pat­terns with­out con­stant or dis­tinct bound­ray. just like the Neb­ula, every spec­i­men, dif­fer­ent. The blue color of thee blotches are also strange, it is not those com­mon met­alic blue like other paros, eg, bin­tan, deiss­neri, har­veyi etc, but a mys­te­ri­ous light cyan color.
