    Hmmm. Looks like a young Fundulopanchax (Paraphyosemion) Gardneri to me. Pretty nice specimen if you condition it with good live foods.

    It is indeed a young Fundulopanchax. Either gardneri or nigerianus. Where did you get this if I may ask?

    Hi! i got it from the Live Fish Shop located at Bukit Merah; same block as Soon Heng. Guess its an annual species? Will be quite sad if it doesn't breed!

    Hi there, It is a non-annual species Relatively easy to breed species .
    I remember having to see fries popping in the tank out of the sudden as the adult fishes do not eat their fry(or eggs)

    It is a semi-annual species, and you can incubate their eggs on peat as well. Without a female however, breeding is impossible. The LFS do not actively stock females, and at times what you get may not be the "correct" female for this male.
