Aren't these peacock gobys? (sorry for the common name)
There pretty common as far as I know

 

[helterskelter]

No, the peacock is Tateurndina ocellicauda

Similar looking yes but their from Papua New Guinea

 

[Maximus]

Ah, I see. My bad.

Anyways, good luck with the sales

 

[Creature Seeker]

nice fish! Too bad I'm in the states, and already have Mogurnda mogurnda or i might have taken some off your hands. Don't have room for a pair, besides I'd be worried about ending up with zillions of hybrid babies. Don't know the likliehood of that, but with my luck...

very very similar to Peacock Gobies. Body shape, colouration the lot.

Same family, Eleotridae. Essentially identical in terms of biology, except of course Mogurnda is bigger and tends to be proportionally more territorial/disruptive and Mogurnda is that bit more predatory. Identifying Mogurnda species is essentially impossible without looking at scale counts and the like, and all species in the genus have very, very similar colouration. Mogurnda clivicola and Mogurnda thermophila for example are identical in terms of colours and differ only slightly in terms of fin ray counts and scale counts. Of course, they differ in terms of distribution, which is presumably how this seller identified this fish.

Thanks Neale

As for price it's just to cover postage, I'm not here to make money.

Or if anyone can get to Derby/Notts for the BLA auction (note my signature) at the end of Oct the fish will be there along with Deigo (the Italian who breed them).
