There aren't three goby species in the great lakes, just the two. Are you sure you don't have a sculpin?

This should help you tell the difference.

Getting rid of the gobies won't upset the ecosystem, it managed before they were introduced and it can manage without them.

Isn't the Lake Erie Water Snake population booming because of the gobies? I forgot what niche food the water snake lost before the introduction of the gobies that led to the decline of their population.

I'm not familier with the relationship between gobies and snakes, perhaps poly will know.
