Parosphromenus

Parosphromenus is a genus of gouramies native to freshwater in Southeast Asia.[1] All species are highly specialized peat swamp inhabitants native to southeast Asia, and the males are usually brightly colored in breeding dress; however, their need for soft, acidic water and live food prohibits the genus from becoming popular aquarium fish.
