hi guys,

Looks kind of like an Eleotris or Oxyeleotris species -- a sleeper goby. Not too sure though.

 

[micstarz]

Yeah, looks like an eleo to me too...maybe E. picta?

 

[smartlove_518]

i dont know anything about this fish..how big do they get..what do they eat.

 

[SalmonAfrica]

I'm still unsure of the species...

Although if it is one of the fish mentioned previously or related, you can give it a ballpark size of around a foot in length and maybe try feeding it meaty foods or maybe some frozen foods.

Looks like a butis butis (crocodile fish) to me...

 

[H]-[H]

It's a delicacy in where I live.. lol

 

[Eoibio]

Dawn/marbled goby???

It may be a butis butis..

 

[cr8on]

Its an Oxyeleotris marmorata, or Marbled Sleeper Goby. Gets to 26'', and is predatory. Try feeding it raw prawn, fish and carnivore pellets.

Is that a coconut husk in the tank?
