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.

gollark: Anyway², I'll switch over my backup stuff and use the existing incremental tar thing for smallish compressible directories and rsync for large-scale apiary data.
gollark: Wow, my server just got an "out of disk space" warning for /tmp.

gollark: SQlite: trusted even by malware authors!
