Chris,
Im of the opinion that there is no colour or physiological difference
at all when it comes to Desert Gobies. 'Coward Springs' is suppose to be be
Ants pants but at the end of the day they are all the same fish, just as
collecting M Fluviatlis at Renmark on the Murray is no different to those at
Mannum on the Murray. Im also of the belief that you will only get one
mating pair in a tank at one time and therefore only get one male in colour.
I have however been known to be wrong.
Andrew
