Hi can help me to id these fishes ?
Many Thanks
Pic 1 - Peacock Gudgeon, Tateurndina ocellicauda. Unable to sex them at this point of time.
Pic 2 - probably Schismatogobius sp., or perhaps a Parawaous sp. At the LFS they might call it Tiger Goby I think.
Pic 3 - some catfish, probably Indian in origin. You should go to Petfrd, and show this picture to Stuporman, aka HH Ng, our local catfish expert. He probably knows what this species is.
Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
Many thanks for the reply bro stormhawk
You're welcome. I had a similar goby in the 2nd pic a few years ago. However, your Goby might also be a Rhinogobius sp., judging from the red markings underneath the head.

Just curious asking are they commonly found in our lfs?
The fish on the last picture has a very big sucker mouth but i can seems to find any info on planetcatfish.
The goby in the second photo might be Rhinogobious duospilus. The one behind it is a Stiphodon.
Care to share where you got them from?
the first fish was bought in apistoworld and the last 2 was in the goldfish market when i was in hong kong few days ago.Stiphodon was bought from Wuhu 2 week ago when Ben got stock
Coincidentally, I got my Rhinogobious duospilus from Hong Kong too. That was 2 years ago and they have passed on.
Stradic, only the Peacock Gudgeon is somewhat common in our local LFS. The other 2 fishes, including the Stiphodon goby are very uncommon. It's the first time I saw the catfish in the 3rd picture.
Looking at the picture again however, I think it is a Chiloglanis species. Probably Chiloganis platypogon, an African species from the family Mochokidae.

it is Chiloglanis. the catfish man has been alerted
why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

Haha thanks ...who is this catfish man ?
I'm waiting for him to come in, he is mad about catfish and he wants to know where you got yours ;@)

only if you're willing to sacrifice it for science

You must understand, the catfishman is "busy" with his duties at PF. But tell him, do it for Chiloglanis, and make it fast!!
He'll probably go insane if we spot some other weird African catfish in the LFS here.
