    The only thing that dissuaded me from getting the samurais was their fragility and requirement of a larger tank. Even the mahachaiensis tank have a few contaminants, in the form of Paros, if you were sharp enough. Only thing is, I have no clue of the species, because there isn't any paros that inhabit the same habitat as mahachaiensis.
    Isn't that a bit weird though. Cause Paros is such ubiquitous blackwater fish and B. mahahaiensis comes from a habitat that's not just alkaline but slightly brackish. Could the Paros be from somewhere else?

    Stuff gets mixed in while at the collecting station or at the farms. Most of the staff do not bother knowing exactly what they sell. Same goes for most of the LFS here. Since Paros more or less show stress coloration while at the LFS, it's hard to tell one species from another. I think in the past we had 2 mixed Paros in 1 lot that appeared at the LFS.

    Most probable. Good to keep them, however, I wouldn't suggest breeding them for the reason already mentioned.

    Paros appear on a more regular basis these days at both C328 & Y618. They are often the Parosphromenus sp. Bintan, I think. Have yet to see nagyi or tweedei, which I am looking for.

    I bought similar ones at Qian Hu labelled as females. They tuned out to be quite aggressive, even bullying my leopard Corys.

    Wild Betta @ Y618

    Took these photos yesterday. I suppose one is coccina mixed in with Parosphronemus, no idea what the other species is though.

    The second pic looks like paro. The betta should be Manor, Y618 usually brings them in.

    Betta coccina and an unknown large betta species (simply labelled "wild betta") seen today at C328.
