I'll start. So far I have 1 Sicyopus zosterophorus, 3 Rhinogobius maxillivirgatus, and 3 Stiphodon annieae, and I hope to get a few more in the future... The Rhinogobius and Stiphodon are quite rare; I'd estimate there are no more than 50 of each species in the U.S., certainly no more than 100. The Stiphodon weren't discovered until 2014, and from what I can tell, so far they've only been imported twice by wetspot. The Rhinogobius weren't described until 2018, and to my knowledge have only been imported twice by Wes.

The plants in my tank have since died off so my more recent pictures are a little ugly, but I'm working on getting some baby tears growing again.

I think I did get one, but it seems like that was the one that jumped...

Post some pictures, that's what this thread is for.

I found this kind of interesting... I stumbled across this article about two really rare and beautiful gobies that rival reef gobies, and I own both of them...
