Isla Taboga Panama via Milwaukee
Caught this Sicydium goby last week, in the Rio Terable.
Hangs on the side eating algae, in a similar manner to the way plecos do, although quite secretive.

It is about 4¨ (10 cms), and hard to a pic of.

Here with a Chaetostoma pleco, caught in the same stream, same day,
The river was very high current, muddy with lots of tubidity, ad particulate from heavy rains in the nearby Cordllera mountains.
