Goby I/d Nobody Knows!

[betta fish]

I've had this goby for a couple of months now and placed it on various forums asking for an id but nobody has given me a definite answer! so I thought I'd ask again it was labelled as a Fusi Goby but looking at the online pictures it is definitely not so would anyone care to help me I have never seen one in the shops before and the chap said they have had it for a while with no interest so he was glad it was getting a new home, is it because nobody knew what it was? I can provide more recent pics if the pic I have provided is not clear enough.

Here is a pic I just took

You might want to ask in the saltwater section. It's probably not an oddball there. Also if you haven't tried reefcentral.com might be able to help. I don't know if I can post that as its another forum. So mods please delete if I'm breaking any rules.

For sure it's not a freshwater oddball! Perhaps a moderator can move this to the marine section?

Whoops! sorry about that! I had just read the post of the mystery goby and it reminded me of mine that I hadn't had id'd yet so I thought I'd put mine back on again I'll put it in the marine section.

Looks like a Wui Goby Rhinogobius wui commonly sold for no apparent reason as a Wurri Goby or sometimes even as a 'Dwarf Dragon Goby'

It's a freshwater temperate species. Likes the water clean and not too warm. Eats inverts such as bloodworm.

Here's a picture of ours.

Hi, many thanks for your response I have a positive ID now, I'm pretty sure it's a fan shrimp goby, a rarity in the aquatic trade my fish is definitely marine too, here are some pics I found online http/reeftools.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Tomiyamichthys-latrunculari.jpg
