Parosphromenus spp.....my favorite.Got 2 groups (8+13) of P anjungensis. One group was caught in Kelantan, the other from Rantau Abang, Terengganu (caught them myself).The first group had few episodes of velvet but now OK. No luck in spawning, probably because of the water parameters. I tried to bring down the pH (now at 6) but it rebound back (lot of buffer in water supply). Feeding is always a problem. They have been with me for almost 6 months, yet would only take live food. They love BBS and daphnia (hard to find here - Terengganu)with occasional mosquito larvae. Love to hear the spawning success.

hi bro!!

u mean u caught the fish ur self????how?? and where? where are you came from ?malaysia ???? feeding ???? i dun hav any problem with feeding them ... i feed them with frozen blood worm or frozen daphnia ... but for the blood worm i've got to chop them until very fine before i actually feed them ... live food ??? baby shrimp ?
BTW how are they doing ???? is it possible if i bought from u if i wanted to ???? =p hehehehe just asking incase

Yup, got them on my own. That is because here in Terengganu you won't find such fish. All Flowerhorns and the usual fishes. So, to be different, we caught own fishes. See how lucky you guys over there.

So far these are the "captures":
R heteromorpha
R agilis
R bankanensis
R einthovenii
unknown spp ( the one in the forum which need ID)
(the total of above = 30+)
R maculata X 8(is it Boraras maculatus?)
some tiny loaches and gobies (dunno what spp.)
Betta imbellis (12)
and my treasure..Betta pi (so said hwchoy)X 2

We also collect plants (some Crypts and sort)
No need to buy, come over and collect them. I'm the one who should be buying. Love to get hold of other spp. of Parosphromenus. Is it possible to get fish from SG?
