Re: Which Stiphodon this might be?
So I bought those Stiphodons. Definitely from the 'Rainbow' group, but they are entirely different from what was available around here - they have a slightly bluish hue when 'at peace'. The pic from AquaBid is showing either stressed fish ("out of the bag"), or of a different Stiphopdon. As expected...

Re: Which Stiphodon this might be?
[quote="plaalye"]There is no definitive answer. They are what are often sold as "rainbow"sp.[/quote] Thanks, plaalye. The 'rainbows' I have are notorious for walking out of the tank , so I extended the inner rim of the tank to possibly avoid further losses. They also look quite different, but this c...

Which Stiphodon this might be?
On Aquabid there are Stiphodons for sale. They are advertised as "Elegant algae eating Gobies", suggesting that they are Stiphodon elegans?
Are they really - can anybody ascertain that, please.

Stiphodons feeding on Daphnia
For several weeks now I'm managing somehow to maintain a large culture of Daphnia moina and I noticed that my Gobies are very fond of them. A few days ago I obtained two pairs of S. percnopterogionus and four pairs of S.semoni. S.percnopterogionus are very small, hardly exceeding an inch in length, ...

I hope they will look like the 'Sumatra red neon gobies' as pictured on Frank's Aquarium page. I checked Internet, and it seems that THIS IS IT!!! While ...

[quote="starsplitter7"]Wow! Where are you finding such cool fish in Florida? Sids are boisterous and sometimes annoying. Are they being aggressive (hurting your other fish or stressing) or are they being curious and annoying? I have Sids in a mixed tank, and they do sometimes bug the other fish, but...
