100% NOT a sumo loach. The dorsal fins clearly indicate that it is some sort of goby plus it lacks barbels that a loach would have.

Looks marine to me... did you take this picture or did you get it from a website?
PS: A goby for sure.

I got it from another site from someone who was unsure of what they had. He said he was keeping it in freshwater then moved it to brackish.

He said he was unsure of what it was, that he order a different kind of goby and received this. Was also unsure of the water conditions. Thats what I saw on the posting anyway. If you see where he states what it is please let em know. Thanks

Yeah it looks like a mudskipper/goby that i have. Apocryptes Bato but i'm sure that it is not the same species. From the way its eyes are located, more than likely it's a mudskipper. Might be fine in freshwater but maybe safer if brackish. Good luck

That link cracks me up. The seller has NO CLUE what they are, how they are kept, grabs at straws to guess how they will breed - yet will send you 2 sexed pairs. He assumes a lot, doesn't he?
Caveat emptor.
