Stiphodon and related genera of Sicyopterus and Sicyopus under Sicydiinae are not well studied taxonomically. They are diadromic stream gobies inhabiting rapid...
OK i'll try and get some decent photos, i can understand how it must be difficult to identify from a single dodgy photo lol, i'll do as you suggest and try and...
Thanks for the detailed reply, its good to get some facts about it given they can be so hard to come by lol. From what i had read about where they are from i...

I was doing a survey in a lagoon in Utila (mangrove habitat) 0.5-1 meter deep when I spied this goby like creature. About 7-10 cm long. The pectoral fins were...
... I'm no taxonomist but I think the first one is Mugilogobius wilsoni. As to care, I would keep that one in low-end brackish water. It seems like it would be...
Hello Can't see the Mugilogobius dorsal fin very well but it's M. chulae if supplier got it from SE Asia or M. wilsoni if from Australia or PNG. The other fish...
Much obliged Helen and Lee!! Helen, does the mugilogobius need to be kept in brackish water? I'd like to get some but only have freshwater tanks at the moment....
Hi folks. These are in my tanks and I'd appreciate any further info you can supply. There is s little to be had about these wonderful fish. I really appreciate...
Hello James Both M. chulae and M. wilsoni occur in brackish to freshwater, with brackish being the usual. Hans Horsthemke bred and reared M. chulae in ...

What can I feed my Stiphodons (that I just got?) Do they require live food only, and do they do better in brackish water than fresh? Also, do they breed in...

Well, I've got a small tank that is so full of green hair algae at this point that they'll probably think they died and went to fish heaven. I'll just portion...
Hi Frank. I'll try the bloodworms and mysis as well. They were still nervous yesterday, and wouldn' touch anything until this morning. I think I got rid...
