I recently picked up this freshwater sleeper goby at my lfs. It was labeled sleeper goby and didnt have any info on it. It looks to me like a dormitator latifrons which i hope it will be so it doesnt get as big like its counterpart, dormitator maculatus. Can anyone tell me which one it could be and some general info on it? he is about 5 1/2 close to six inches. He has a big appetite for almost anything.

Does look like latifrons. Nothing too much specific. Will eat most foods and tolerant of most tankamtes. Keep the water clean. Keep an eye out for cutaneous infections if so then add salt. Can be imported from freshwater or brackish water.
