Almost looks like a water cow.
A little bit, looks more like a MARBLE to me probably because i study this family of fish so much. Tey are more closely related to MARBLES than spotted. There are about 10 other sleepers that look like spotted gobys.

My Lfs has a big water cow around 12" or so and they refuse too sell it. Say it's their pet. Very cool looking goby though.

Yea they are nice gobys i have one now. I had 5 one jumped after i left the top open after a feeding. Moved the other 4 after they ate some tankmates, and my female MARBLE GOBY killed all 4.
