Rhinogobius zhoui

This new goby has been named after Zhou Hang who has contributed quite a few images to our knowledge base. What a stunner!

Those are three different species though arent they?

Very nice fish and pics anyway

Er, apparently so Gustav. /rolleyes.gif” style=”vertical-align:middle” emoid=”:rolleyes:” border=”0″ alt=”rolleyes.gif” />

My blushes are saved a little as the program I use to rip images from PDF files considers that a single image so I would have had no choice but to post all three species…possibly with correct names attached though.

Veeeery nice Matt! Would be nice to have a dabble with any of them.

i have to agree with Pablito there, stunning.

It’s been years to Zhou collecting the phenotype. Salute to his never ending stories.

Hi all
as Jutta has already shown here
http://www.seriouslyfish.com/forums/index….37&hl=zhoui
the colours can vary depending on the habitat and on the mood of course. I’ve got some specimen of the river where Jutta’s came from and would like to show some pics

some speciemn are tiny, the females small and very slim

Cheers Charles

Hi Charles,
You have meanwhile Offsprings for? If so, would be interested to know how it is been with you.

Hi Jutta

no, no youngsters. The males showed some activity in digging but seemed not very interested in reproducing. As you already remarked. By the way: we have no problems with polyphospates, so it could be interesting to compare. Actually I wait for a friend who wanted to take over some specimen. After that a change of tanks is forseen, in order to give P. pachychilus a chance to spawn. Could take some time.

Cheers Charles

[FerrikaParticipant]

So like the same game everywhere. Let’s be honest, but sometimes you get the suspicion that are gay, right?

But with plenty of water changes you can bring the boys into shape … if you want.
A comparison in water without polyphosphates could actually bring a lot of light into the darkness.
