I have traded in all my small Dats because they grow super slow and it was getting annoying. I am also trying to have a multi pred com tank so the lilly guys were getting in the way.

They had this guy labeled as a sleeper gobi but cant find any info on him through google, so can you guys help ID him?

He is about 4"s

I like him because he kinda looks like a wolf minus the teeth...
 
Oxyleotris Marmorata or Pomatoschistus Marmoratus (not sure which name is the correct one) also known as Marbled Goby. They're a common food fish in Asia. I'm not sure how big they can get, but I've seen them at 12" myself.
