GOBI CAUGHT IN LOCAL STREAM HERE IN HAWAII....

[Leptoe]

Thanks for the info guys! Now...I am trying to figure out what the little guy eats. I showed him to my dad and he said when he was young they used to catch these gobies as big as a 10 inches long! I am going to try my best to raise this guy! I will keep you guys updated on his growth.


Thanks again,

Shane

if you were to look at the link i provided

"Appearance: Mottled brown and black with a white underside. Vertical dark and light bands are visible on the dorsal and caudal fins, and there is a dark patch on the caudal peduncle.
Size: Length up to about 14 inches.
Habitat: Usually found in the lower to middle stream reaches.
Diet: Omnivorous feeding mostly on filamentous green algae, crustaceans, worms, snails, and aquatic insects.
Distribution: Indigenous; also found in other Pacific Islands.
Interesting Facts: The name nakea means "whitish", probably referring to the o'opu's white underside. Hawaiians favored this goby as a food fish probably because of its large size. "

There are a few different oopu's in our river systems. Most are live fish eaters.

Here you go hawaiian. This guy gets 13''. By the way, were did you scoop him up at? Also, I go to Pearl city falls for feeder mollies and small guppies. That's what I feed my little guy.

That place to....
Right before you hit the hill to pacific palisades, the bridge, I walk a mile or so upstream and there is a water fall. Not that big, but there is a nice pond there. Get plenty pink cons up there. PCHS class of 1998....(if I didn't get kick out).
