Differences between...

[Boupette]

Someone can tell me the differences between Steatocranus casuarius and gibbiceps?

Thanks

According to Anton Lamboj's book, casuarius has 'dark scales with light margins' and gibbiceps has 'light scales with dark margins'. I have never seen a gibbiceps in person, but based on pictures I would say that it probably does not get as black as a casuarius.

Ok, then mine are casuarius. All of what I see up here are casuarius too. Does the gibbiceps have blue eyes too? And is it the same size? I heard about casuarius or gibs that's about 8" ( 20cm) or more! My male is about 3" and this couple is spawning ever since the mâle is aroud 2". I had them only for 5 months.

This fish is stunning, I think he looks like a human in a body fish! What is the English word for "fascinant" ?

'Fascinating'

According to Lamboj the scale color and pattern are teh only differences.
