ID this weird looking fish

[jah29]

So I saw this thing for sail at pet supplies plus for $25.. it was about 8in long.. and they called it a "Water Cow".. does anyone know what this is? And does anyone know anything about it? Like how big it gets, its diet, where its from, whats an average price for one, temperment, and any other info..

this isn't the actual picture of it but its the same fish and looked just like this one..

Sleeper Goby. Not sure of the exact species. Somebody will be.

They get sixteen inches and eat everything.

Yep. I haven't seen one of them in a while. They definitely eat everything hence the "cow" part, lol...

Water Cow, Marbled Sleeper Goby, same thing I think. The last one I had got about 16''. Ate everything. Even a 6'' Red Oscar I had at the time. They can and WILL swallow anything up to half their length.
