DUTOITI PSeudochromis vs neon

[Ironsheikh]

The sites I always see have the neon pseudochromis pictured under the dutoiti listing saying they are the same fish. But, all the books I've read show the Dutoiti being green /blue and not yellow. Does the yellow of the neon turn into the green as an adult or are the green color endemic to one area of the ocean? I was curios because I'm looking for a green one

 

[Peter Schmiedel]

The green one is the P.dutoiti (Western Indian Ocean: Pakistan and Persian Gulf to Durban, South Africa.) and the orange one is P.aldabrensis (Indian Ocean: Aldabra, Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka). Two different fish from different locations. I have never seen dutoiti in trade in Europe
