The one photographed appears to be Sicyopus exallisquamulus Watson & Kottelat, 2006.

I've seen them advertised a lot lately but nobody seems to know just what they are. They look at least similar to Thu, 18 Jun 2009 21:23:07 GMT leecristo@... http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/gobygroup/message/1714 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/gobygroup/message/1714 ... They came from an exporter in Singapore. Mark is going to ask where they were collected, but he may not get an answer. Do you know anything about them that Thu, 18 Jun 2009 02:50:19 GMT leecristo@... http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/gobygroup/message/1713 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/gobygroup/message/1713 ... Thanks. I don't know where they came from but I will ask. If it helps, they seem to have been sold as all one species, so I would think they were collected Wed, 17 Jun 2009 23:33:06 GMT Helen Larson http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/gobygroup/message/1712 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/gobygroup/message/1712 The first is M. mertoni, then M. chulae, then a Pseudogobius (possibly undescribed - looks like several I have photos of). Do you know where the fish are from?

It looks like there are three different species. I think the first one is Mugilogobius abei or mertoni. The second Mon, 08 Jun 2009 13:53:02 GMT mglk@... http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/gobygroup/message/1710 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/gobygroup/message/1710 The snails were some nerites I bought, and they seem to have adapted to the salinity ok. I believe most of that group breeds in marine or brackish water Mon, 08 Jun 2009 11:30:39 GMT gobyresearch@... http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/gobygroup/message/1709 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/gobygroup/message/1709 If you want to kill your Stiphodon then follow this advice. Stiphodon are not snails and the two should never be confused.

They have a preference for scraping algae from rock surfaces. The enriched vegetarian tables will be much easier Mon, 08 Jun 2009 11:26:18 GMT gobyresearch@... http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/gobygroup/message/1707 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/gobygroup/message/1707 Again Stiphodon are strictly vegetarian as juvenile and adult and the only safe food is algae and enriched vegetarian wafers. DO NOT FEED ANIMAL PROTEIN!!

These are strictly algae eating fish and wafer type food Fri, 05 Jun 2009 21:24:54 GMT Michael Kerlin http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/gobygroup/message/1704 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/gobygroup/message/1704 Hi Frank.  I'll try the bloodworms and mysis as well.  They were still nervous yesterday, and wouldn' touch anything until this morning.  I think I got rid Fri, 05 Jun 2009 19:49:56 GMT mglk@... http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/gobygroup/message/1703 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/gobygroup/message/1703 Well, I've got a small tank that is so full of green hair algae at this point that they'll probably think they died and went to fish heaven. I'll just portion Fri, 05 Jun 2009 19:12:34 GMT pasolaja http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/gobygroup/message/1702 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/gobygroup/message/1702 ... They are algae/aufwuchs grazers and your tank should have plenty of wood/stones/plants with a mature growth of algae for them to graze on. I have seen mine
