something like a Rhinogobius giurinus (actually is a Pseudogobius siamensis)

this also caught from Ayutthaya of Thailand, about 18mm SL. Looks like a young Rhinogobius giurinus

Wow... I like this one... Is the specimen stressed or is this its natural colouration?

**hwchoy** · 28th Jan 2006, 01:36

it is a little stressed, but the natural colour is light black blotches over translucent base. very good camouflage!

Very very nice... I wonder if such small gobies will be available for the aquarium trade... Heh heh... I love gobies!

**hwchoy** · 28th Jan 2006, 01:45

I think not much in the trade, too "longkang"

**Justikanz** · 28th Jan 2006, 01:51

Sigh... Sad fact...

Oooh!! Pretty! Almost like the glass goby! These creatures are hard to photograph!

Cheers,

not too bad. only problem is that they spread their fins fully only when stuck to the glass wall.

**hwchoy** · 30th Jan 2006, 05:26

added a face shot in #1.

Love that pose man! Look at the spread out pectorial fins! Was it trying to display to your Canon EF 100 mm f2.8 USM macro?

Cheers,

wah...damn tricky fish to shoot...

**hwchoy** · 30th Jan 2006, 13:25

heh did you notice that "nostril" just in front of the eyes?

**Justikanz** · 30th Jan 2006, 15:04

Beautiful!!

Aren't you enjoying the depth of field from the new toy? Love the details.

yes, just have to remember to switch between f/11 range and f/22 range. sometimes have to sacrifice the sharpness for DOF.

You noticed that F22 is not as sharp as F11 right? But DOF is much better.

yah, that's why have to be mindful what I am trying to capture, a specific feature (let's say eyes or lips) or the overall look of the frontal view.

BTW Helen Larson identified this as a youngish Pseudogobius siamensis.
