would a powerful airpump and air stone oxygenate the water enough?

I reckon so. FWIW I don't run an airstone.

I have a fair bit of surface agitation created by my filter outlet.
I also run a tiny 2nd filter at the opposite end of the tank which I keep cycled ready for use in a quarantine tank, and whilst in my main tank produces a little extra circulation and surface agitation.

Ahhh, that 'blue' one is directly beneath a blue LED light on the front glass.   ::)

The other photos show their natural colour.

Thank you. I'm fairly sure the three I have are all females as they're not showing the stunning colours a male is capable of.

However, I really like them and it's a bit of an event in my house when we are able to spot all three at the same time. Sad I know lol !

I've asked my LFS to reserve me a striking coloured male if/when they get one in stock.

No idea where everyone lives, but MA in Bordon near Farnham has a huge variety and at the best prices I've seen.

Hmmm, bit far for me. Now if you'd said the MA in Stokesley, I would have been off to have a look  ;D

I've just looked at MA's website and the one you mention looks huge compared to the Stokesley branch, and my nearer one in Stockton is the smallest MA I've ever been in.

Not very far from me, but, unfortunately since the car was written-off and we have to rely on public transport, it is too far too travel to.

Sorry to hear about the car, but if you get a chance to go it's worth a visit.

my nearest MA (Wakefield) do Indonesian Rock Gobies for €10 each (I mean pound sterling but that button doesn't work on my PC)! I don't know if that's good or bad.

I'm not sure which species this is, it's not on Seriously Fish.

The thing is, sometimes it seems in the aquarium trade, fish are sold under names that you wouldn't usually associate with that species.

I wouldn't be surprised to see one Stiphodon species in one LFS sold under this label, and another species of Stiphodon in a different LFS going by the same name.

If you do a Google Image search you see all different Stiphodons coming up.

It'll probably be Stiphodon semoni, though they're often mis-sold as they're not the easiest fish to identify.
