Hey guys can anyone help me ID this species? Bought it at the local fish store and it was being sold as a freshwater goby. But the seller doesn't know exactly what it is. It's about five to six inches in length. Not sure if it's captive bred or wild-caught, but it's most probably a southeast asian species, which is where i'm from. I would appreciate any leads.

Beautiful goby!
Closest matches I can find are dormitator maculatus and jade gobies.
