Parosphromenus anjunganensis
The unpaired fins lack the bands seen in opallios, and the tail lacks the conspicuous black eyespot of barbarae.
- Adult length
- Up to 2.6 cm (standard length, without the tail fin)
- Water temperature
- 20–24 °C
- Natural habitat
- Native to waters around Anjungan, Borneo.

Social behaviour and territory
Does not form tight schools. Pairs may be kept for breeding; groups need caves and visual barriers. Watch nest defence and subordinate fish.
Diet and feeding
Offer tiny, suitably sized live foods. Dry food is unreliably accepted; confirm the fish actually eat.
