Id my new goby pls.

[fugupuff]

its not a killifish, fundulus sp. as suggested, this guy is from the phillipines, so no killifish there.

the fused pelvic fin confirms that it is a goby, and cheap, meaning a common fish, probably semi brackish from the phillipines.

its not a dormitator sp. or giant jade goby, as those are from central to south america.

probably in the genus of mogrunda or eleotris. I'll find it, I've seen this fish before.

From the local and appearance I would guess Eleotris margaricitacea, gets about 11" and has a marine pelagic young goes to freshwater as it ages, adults are FW.

They are very similar in appearance to the jade sleeper goby (Dormitator maculatus) that is pretty common in the hobby, they are smaller and a bit lighter in build. The main reason I suspect that this is the E. margaritacea is that they are native to the Phillipines and the Dormitator maculatus (jade sleeper) is not found in that area.
