Can someone identify this fish?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I've kept marbled sleepers and that fish looks similar, but not exactly like the ones I've had. "Cool-looking-sleeper-goby-of-some-kind" is the technical term.
 
Yeah...it is called BETUTU in Indonesia...I have 1....very lazy fish...during the day time...but become more active and haunt for food at night....
Hmmm it's meat very delicious for food...many chinese resto sell this fish as food...expensive in resto..but very cheap in a fish shop hehe...
I caught this fish from a lake....now it has already 8" long....i have seen the biggest one in Freshwater public aquarium...the size is 20"
 
It is an awesome goby!!! cannot wait to see more pics..:)
 
here is my own...goby....very similiar with the stone hehe..

I combine this lazy fish with another lazy fish too...the frogmouth catfish....
Ohhhh.....this catfish is lazier than the goby....even if u catch with your hand...it wont move....like a dead leaf....

Well I picked him up (HUGE) about 3 1/2 pounds, guessing at 20" but the girth is like a log.
Must say he is VERY mellow, looks just like your pic Dark Angel but bigger.
Funny how they lay all puffed out looking, my Oscar was happy to have some larger friends and was giving us an awesome color show (flashing greys and blacks)
Thanks for all the help and I will post some pics tomorrow (camera batteries were dead)
