Reply With Quotewhats its function?? of that priapium? Nice pics btw..
bought some Neostethus from Cartimah market in Manila, one of the few native species on sale there. Most probably N. villadolidi, about 2cm SL.
these fishes belongs to Phallostethidae, which means "a standing penis"by virtue of the priapium the male has under its chin.
