<<no it's one of the endemic Glossogobius.>> Thanks Helen! I guess I'll need to bring it in as Glossogobius sp. How about this (very poor) pic. The collector...
Now that is just about the prettiest photo I've seen in a long while. Um yes, it might be the same species! There's at least two Glossogobius species in Lake...
hey Frank, they were called Stupidogobius because the original collector (Prof Woltereck) reported that they were too tame, i.e. just waiting to be picked up ...

hey Ron, thanks for this (yet again); am sure it will make interesting reading, as I see you are commenting on Sparks and Nelson. and best wishes/good fortune...
Well, it looks like the Stupidogobius did not make it from Lk. Towuti to the exporter so I'll not be getting them (I was going to ask him to preserve them and...
Rhyacichthys is unusual in that it's both highly specialised (flattened with pectoral and pelvics modified so it looks like those Asian balitorid loaches; has...
Helen, once again, thanks! Hopefully these gobies ship well. If not, there will be two preserved specimens <<G>>. As to it being monotypic, that's what I was...
Hi Frank, Any chance you'd be able to send some of these guys to Winnipeg (Canada)? My supervisor, Randy Mooi, along with Tony Gill are working on a studying...
Well, it appears that the fish that was supposed to be Rhyacichthys aspro is not. It lacks the forked tail and pointed snout. Needless to say, I am ...
looks like Belobranchus - there's probably a number of species but presently they all get called Belobranchus belobranchus. They are weird pretty creatures ...

hello Frank, you could start with Kottelat's book, which has lots of colour photos in the back. Jerry Allen's New Guinea book may help too, it has more...
John has sent me another pic of a goby he's collected.. Do you think this is S. longifilis? It does not look like the one that was sent to me as longifilis...
Frank - this fish looks healthy and happy and undamaged, the first looks blanched, miserable, with torn fins and some of the first dorsal spines have been...
Just yesterday I happened to buy what the store called a Golden Goby. I've been trying to do research on the fish and I'm coming up with nothing that looks...
Hi Ambria, Is this a freshwater or marine goby? Can you send a picture? Naomi ... -- Naomi Delventhal, PhD Student University of Manitoba c/o Randy Mooi,...
Naomi - Thanks for responding!! Unfortunately I will not be seeing it until Saturday. It was an addition to my boyfriends tank. I will try my best at that...
Sounds like a brackish species to me ? ..... Careful with adding that extra salt to the tank - the other inhabitants might not like it! :) Aileen ... Fantasy...
Hello, These 2 fish had been at the local pet store for several months. I decided I would purchase them and try to find out what kind of fish they are. They...
Hi Bill, It looks like Priolepis nocturna - beautiful fish and very interesting (I'm very jealous!). Good luck with them, Naomi ... -- Naomi Delventhal, PhD...
I uploaded a couple of pictures of P. gracilis from my tanks.... cheers, Gianluca Gianluca Polgar Ph.D. student Dipartimento di Biologia Animale e dell'Uomo, ...
