    Unknown goby picked up from EcoCulture. Azmi said that it is found in some longkang. Any idea what is it?

    I think I have previously seen it in XnSdVd's 6ft tank. But he's is much bigger than mine.

    this one has been posted quite a few times, either Rhinogobius giurinus or part of the species complex. Helen Larson is working on this group.

    Looks really familiar... hmm... not Pseudogobius javanicus?

    P. javanicus don't have those mottley white markings. Perhaps later I go dig up my old pix of the two. They were ID by Helen Larson.

    Ah... good good. They are pretty fierce gobies I must say. Eaten up the two glass gobies that was previously in the same photo tank and frayed the fins of the P.scalare who were also in the tank.

    Is it the Stigmatogobius poecilosoma, commonly known as the pond goby, which is very common in most of our reservoirs?

    Just a word on this, Stigmatogobius poecilosoma may be a spelling mistake, only found S. poicilosoma in FishBase. S. poicilosoma is also a synonym of Pseudogobius poicilosoma.

    Nasty fish.

    Decimated my population of cherry, malayan and tiger shrimps, yet they're hard to catch out without uprooting all the plants.

    Mistake to put them in. But when I first caught them, they were tiny 10mm long and I thought they'd be harmless.
    Warm regards,
