Hi All

A while back the good man azurekoi told me where to get some of these.
I bought 3 but one did not make it, think he was to thin and past saving.
A few weeks on the 2 I have left is looking great and much fatter.

Really struggle to take pics with my camera but here are a few. In most cases its the sam goby, he tends to chance colour depending where he sits.

Enjoy

The smaller one of the two

These guys are super cool! Where did you get them from? I had two, male and female I think, but male disappeared about a month ago :( Such good character. Would be great to get another one or two of these guys.

Dough do you still have the female?

Well think it is the female, the blander of the two, the male had a much brighter red fin...looks fairly similar to one in last pic of yours

The last one is the same fish as the other photos so you might still have a male?
Will pm you where I got them.

Thanks for pm. I did some googling, could not find stacks of pics, but did find a few comparing the sexes, pretty sure the one above and one I still have is the female, my male had a much more (almost) orange body colour and didn't have that dark stripe down the side of the body. Hopefully I can get a few more too sometime soon!

Yes pics of these guys are pretty scares.
Thought of asking this guy if he could help ID them.
