Parosphromenus gunawani

Adults are stockier than bintan. Males have parallel colored bands on the unpaired fins, usually with a greater proportion of reddish brown.

Natural habitat: Inhabits peat swamps with shallow pools, partly covered by aquatic plants and shaded by trees and shrubs.

Needs extremely soft, acidic water.

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.

Offer tiny, suitably sized live foods. Dry food is unreliably accepted; confirm the fish actually eat.
