Anyone could help to ID? Is this empire gudgeon?
Anyone could help to ID? Is this empire gudgeon?
I've kept Tateurndina ocellicauda (aka rainbow gudgeon) before and your fishes do have a similar body and fin shape... but just without the colors.
I'd guess its a variant of the same species?
It's highly likely that these are indeed Empire Gudgeon (Hypseleotris compressa), although they're probably too stressed out and so the colours aren't showing.

Small is beautiful.
thanks all.. i pick this from c328 rojak tank... it was in this color.
Is it because they are not in spawning season, thats why remain this color?
I was at C328 yesterday and saw these fishes there too... they are rather small ones though, only 2-3cm, probably juveniles.
Like what Pseudogobiopsis mentioned, they do seem to resemble empire gudgeons, did some quick search and found a photo of a non-nuptial female example at the seriouslyfish.com database:
