    I bought a few of these as P.deissneri a week ago, and now the colours are coming out I have noticed differences amongst them, so this is the first one. Is it P.deissneri?

    Yup, this is P.deissneri. P.filamentosus and P.paludicola both have pointy tail. Mature specimen should have a ring of red on their tail and some on their dorsal.
    Something about the water & the fishes that calms me down.

    Funny I was told elsewhere that the first pic [edit] is P. anjunganensis because it doesn't have the stripe running through the centre of the eye like P. deissneri

    This 2nd pic is definitely not the same species, but which one is this.. P Sumatranus??
