I'm loving these fish... The only problem is that they were sold to me as Tanganicodus Irsacae "Nyanza Lac" but apparentally not, the other pair of Gobies in the bucket with him were Blue Spot Kabezi ( Spathodus Erthyrodon I think...), so I think I'll need to call Heinz and sort it out...

Heinz still works once or twice a week I think, showing the new owner the ropes I imagine... Having trouble confirming what this guy really is now...

they look like kabezi used to work with the wholesaler he gets them from
nyaza lac are a little brighter than those guys also have a funny yellow sheen over the head

Just when I thought I knew what species they were ... :roll: So you think they are a Spathodus?


The facial markings are a lot different on most Spathodus, and Tanganicodus irsacae have much smaller heads/mouths. Also, Eretmodus is the more common Goby imported in the hobby. Also, Spathodus have long cylindrical teeth. I don't think that I see this in your fish.


That's a comment from a different Forum,
