Parosphromenus anjunganensis
Anjungan Parosphromenus, Licorice Gourami
- Parosphromenus anjunganensis are specialized, small labyrinth fish. They're popular among enthusiasts for their vivid coloration and unique fin structures. Their natural habitat is soft, acidic, and tannin-rich, usually darker waters with thick vegetation.
- They thrive in a planted aquarium that mimics their natural dwelling, with subdued lighting. Frequent water changes maintaining parameters resembling their native water are essential.
- They're generally peaceful but should only be housed with similarly sized gentle species to avoid stress.
- Breeding can be challenging; providing natural caves or overhangs facilitates spawning in a controlled environment.
Distribution
