Important communication about Stiphodon females

Pour les Français : https://www.aqualifestyle-france.com/t7275-communication-sur-le-stiphodon-rainbow-ornatus
Conclusion : Les grossistes commande le red neon goby sous la désignation du Stiphodon sp mais si ils veulent avoir des Stiphodon femelles, il faut tous simplement qui commande des black line goby.

I have been hoping to find female Stiphodons for a while, but every time a new shipment comes, there is always no female stiphodon in the batch.

I wondered if the importers do not keep females, history of trying stop us from reproducing the Stiphodon.
I had guarded that assumption until today when I was searching for a friend, that I found the most plausible answer.
We know the dimorphism between adult male and female Stiphodons. Females are almost devoid of color and has black bands on the body. However, in juvenile form we can't differ between males and females.



If this finding is true, I have noticed that females have shorter head than males and male's head is slightly more pointed.
I understand better now why importers thought it was another species or variety.

This is why females Stiphodon is labeled as another type:

Quick summary for those who can't understand the story:
The wholesalers order the red neon goby under the designation of Stiphodon sp but if they want to have of Stiphodon females, it must order of black lines.

The pictures speak for themselves.

This is my deduction on this fish.

IHIT is a wholesaler who has ordered Stiphodon black lines.







Many thanks to my friend "stardust" for his help in translating the subject.
