WAh... blue blue leh.. very nice...
swee indeed..
Caught from a hillstream drains into sea directly somewhere in Shenzhen. First took a 2 hours ride then hired a motorbike to the location. Caught these fish in the very first spot I tried(to be frank, only found single promising stream). Caught them in freshwater part but these fish are known to spawn in sea and swim up stream after hatching. Algae eaters so should do very well in my no-longer-planted-but-algae tank.
Swee leh....

I love it a lot...thanks for sharing. Hope to see it someday in Singapore.
Probably yes, but some might spend the entire life is freshwater, not sure.
This is goby is around 4 cm, but female can be bigger, 5 cm.
Woah! Such electrifying colors! Brilliant!
And good photography too. This fish is not the easiest to shoot.
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
I shot it with old 35 - 80 mm lens, then used the + 2 Marumi close up lens..bo bian the Tamron still not with me yet...sighh
Beautiful fish and equally beautiful shots Tree.
As for this goby, I've seen locally before. The only time I saw a live male exhibiting this electric blue and jet black colouration was in a tank at Choong Sua Aquarium. That was before it closed down. That was the best specimen I've seen so far locally. They're not easy to maintain in a community tank, but the one at CS survived for many years.
Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
Anyone keeping this fish with success? Any tips on what they like to eat?

Algal grazers. They won't mind processed foods, sinking tablets and discs, flakes etc.
Cannot imagine such a small fish can have the "power" to swim upstream...
