Goby ID, please.

They were labeled "Clown Gobies".

Any ideas?

Thanks.

They look very much like Rhinogobius wui to me.

I disagree, it's too chunky and the eyestripe and dorsal stripe are not found in r.wui.

I'm 99% certain that it's a redigobius species and most likely redigobius balteatus

Balteata Gobies (also known as the Rhinohorn Goby) require mild brackish water and develop fatal goitre if kept in freshwater, but with the right setup are extremely easy to breed.

Baench says that they will refuse flake but will be happy with a diet of live or frozen invertabrates (Bloodworm, mysis, brineshrimp, daphnia et al)

I think you're right SirMinion.

They are going back to the LFS tomorrow, as I have no immediate plans for a brackish tank.

Thanks.
