INFORMATION:
Classification:
Order: Perciformes
Osphronemidae
Distribution:
2 kilometers north of Sukamara and Tarantang, Central Kalimantan, Borneo, which refers to Pudu Village in Sukumara District, West Kotawaringin Regency, Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia (Borneo).It has also been collected slightly further east, near the larger town of Pangkalan Bun, although the full extent of its range remains unclear.
A reddish form is marketed as P. sp. 'Seruyan' and the latter appears to relate to Seruyan Regency considerably further east.
Some of these populations exhibit phenotypic differences and may represent different genetic lineages, so they should be kept separate in aquariums.
A stenotypic inhabitant of peat swamp forests and associated blackwater streams, in some of which it occurs sympatrically with the congener P. opalios.
In undisturbed habitats, the dense canopy of branches above means that very little light penetrates the surface of such environments, and riparian vegetation also tends to grow densely.
The water is typically stained dark with humic acids and other chemicals released by decomposing organic materials, the dissolved mineral content is generally negligible, and the pH as low as 3.0 or 4.0.
Its form is:
Adult males tend to grow larger than females and develop more extended pelvic, dorsal, anal and caudal fins.
Both sexes are also capable of changing color quickly depending on mood and become significantly more intense when aggressive, for example.
Its size is:
30 – 35mm.
Parameters required:
PH: between 3.0 and 6.5
Temperature can range between 22-28°C
Aquarium size:
An aquarium with base dimensions of 40 * 20 cm or equivalent is sufficient for a couple.
Feeding:
This species is mainly a micropredator that feeds on small aquatic invertebrates, so in the aquarium it should be offered a variety of small live foods such as Artemia nauplii, Daphnia, Moina, mosquito larvae, microworms, etc.
Frozen foods are sometimes accepted but not considered nutritious enough, while most dry products are usually rejected.
Behavior:
It is not recommended for the general community aquarium for the reasons already mentioned.
Its care requirements, disposition and especially conservation status dictate that it should be kept alone or together with a group of small, peaceful cyprinids such as Boraras or Sundadanio spp.
Likewise, different Parosphromenus spp. They should not be kept together as many females are very difficult to differentiate and some are undoubtedly capable of hybridizing.
If you wish, you can keep a mixed group, although most breeders prefer to keep it in sexual pairs, as some fry can survive alongside their parents, but usually not if other adults are present.
