freshwater goby

[Charney]

About ten years ago I had this amazing freshwater goby. I would love to get another one but I have no idea what it was and have not seen another one since. It was an Australian goby that a bluish-purple body and extremely colorful fins. I thought it had rainbow or sunshine in its common name, but can’t remember. When he died on me he was about ten inches and massive. If anyone has any ideas let me know. Thanks
