Parosphromenus paludicola

A relatively slender body and long pelvic-fin filaments. Tail shape varies among local forms.

Has bred at pH up to 6.

Social behaviour and territory

Does not form tight schools. Pairs may be used for breeding; groups need caves and visual barriers. Watch nest defenders and subordinate fish.

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