What an entertaining and informational thread. Odyssey, thanks so much for sharing!
Does anyone by chance know if female Stiphodon are being imported to the US? I can only find males, but I am very interested in trying to breed stiphodon through replicating the stream to sea to stream life cycle.
I have 4 male Stiphodon I believe to be Semoni, they seem to be getting pretty territorial. Has anyone experienced problems with male-male aggresion?
Tyrano, have you had any difficulties with keeping only male Stiphodon?

Hi ChimpyOne!
I recognize that the fight between males of the Stiphodon genus does not have any problem.
The dorsal fin crumbles by fighting each other, but is recovered immediately.
If the order of their strength and weakness is settled, their fights will decrease.
Male's fight is a natural action for them, and it is possible to see in the natural stream.

I think that it's the pleasure in keeping Stiphodon genus to be able to observe alga grazing, courtship behavior, male's fight and color change.
S.percnopterygionus vs S.percnopterygionus
S.ornatus vs S.semoni
S.ornatus vs S.maculidorasalis
S.machlidorasalis vs S.semoni
By the way,because I found very splendid watercolor paintings of Stiphodon genus recently,
I would like to introduce it.

He draws the Rhinogobius genus, and this is splendid, too.

Because I was inspired by his wonderful illustrations so I also made tiling Stiphodon genus photos.

Thanks Odyssey and once again beautiful pictures! I know you mentioned earlier in the thread that some stiphodon species will absolutely only eat algae while others will try other foods occasionally. I can't remember if you had this already but I saw my stiphodon semoni slurping up some frozen blood worms. I tried to get a picture with the worm in his mouth, but he hid!
When one stiphodon male sits on top of another male does this show dominance?

Amazing work. Is this your job? Must be a lot of fun doing this.
As said before, wonderful photos and comments. I also loved seeing the snowmonkeys and the shinkansen and the views and ofcourse the fish. Hope to visit Japan some day.

Photography is just a hobby.

While a male of S.atratus was courting a female, its body became black and its face became blue.
However, its color has faded away immediately.

Hi NancyD!
Thank you for the comment.
Hi sj861008 !
Nice to meet you.
2、i would like to know The difference between the stiphodon atratus and stiphodon rutilaureus?
3、i really want some pictures about stiphodon imperiorientis,can you post more?
4、What do you usually browse web query about goby?

The male appearance of S.rutilaureus is totally different from S.atratus.
It is easy to distinguish both.
In fact the male of S.ornatus resembles S.atratus very much.
It may be difficult to distinguish both by the information except the habitation area.
A3.
Unfortunately I do not yet have a good picture of stiphodon imperiorientis.
Google images site has a lot of splendid photographs of S. imperiorientis.

I often check new Stiphodon images by image search of Google.
