Question: Name this fish

MizRamzi · April 7th, 2009

Can anyone tell me what fish this is? I've looked and looked and can't find one like it. But I bought it anyways. Way to cute.

It looks like a type of goby.

I thought that as well Amanda but I cant find anything like it in any of the sites I looked at, the 2 dorsal fins make it seem a good choice though

Fresh or saltwater?

Amanda · April 7th, 2009

It KINDA looks similar to the Purple Strips Goby, but that has dots...

I too am going with a Gobie, but I'll be danged if I know what species. The LFS had it in their brackish, which I brought home and put in my brackish. Guess I could look under fresh water fishes....
