Reply With QuoteBenny, that's a nice male Knight Goby.
That said, if it inhabits estuaries and tidal zones of a river, it should prefer brackish water, rather than fresh water.
Hi guys,
Here's a picture of a knight goby taken in late April, but somehow, I never got around to showing the picture.
Discovered in 1822, this South Asian species grows up to only 8.5 cm on the average. Occurs in estuaries and tidal zone of rivers. Prefers fresh water, rarely found in brackish water. Feeds on small fishes and invertebrates, including mosquito larvae.
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
Don't be afraid of my duck!
A slight off track but still on native gobies: according to Sivasothi of the Raffles Museum for Biodiversity Research, the local yellow-spotted mudskipper (Periophthalmus walailakae) was identified only in 2002 by Thai researchers who named it after their university! Apparently, this mudskipper was previously thought to be the juvenile form of the common Giant Mudskipper (P. schlosseri).
Pulau ubin got plenty ah...
I only caught them in brackish water before.
