Hello everyone,
Lately I bought 12 stiphodons to keep my other 4 stiphodons company. After a while now, I noticed there is one fish not like the others. I have searched the internet but I have no idea wich fish this could be. So my question is, do you have an idea?

Great fish I have 4 of those. There spots on head and neck make them easy to differentiate from other kinds. One of mine 3 has a rounded 1st dorsal, the others a backwards pointed one.
I assume you've visited odyssey's thread, who puts them into the "orange fin" group. Enjoy

Yes, I noticed him being different by the spots on his head. So this is just a stiphodon sp., a undiscribed specie. That's nice to know just a bit dissapointing that there is not much known about them. And that's it will be hard to find more of his specie to keep him company, because it's a little sad him being around all these other stiphodons but no one of his kind.
Are these fish that are breed often or are these all caught in the wild?
I have seen odyssey's topic, and now I recognize the fish I have .
By the way, this fish was bought with these guys. These are another stiphodon sp. if i'm not mistaken.

As far as I know stiphodon have not been bred in aquaria, all wild caught. They are amphidromous, which means that their larvae drift downstream after hatching and develop for a period of time in salt water. A difficult set of conditons to reproduce.
That is another stiphodon sp. we've been calling "rainbow" . There seem to be several variations of these if not seperate species???? My orange fin came with fish that look like yours, they must co-habitate. Keep your eyes open for more contaminants, also for females of the species. I've found them labeled s. ornatus.
