I have been watching my rhinogobius candidianus for quite a while now. Quite frankly, this event I have just witnessed is quite confusing. I can see how plecos can attach to the glass and stay suspended but they have a suckermouth and are able to create a preassurized seal with their mouth.

How does a freshwater goby do this?

Please look in the middle left area of the attached picture its very small otherwise you will have no idea what I am talking about.

Note: I can take more pics and perhaps a video if necessary. Video is on YouTube its a 5 second part of 1 I uploaded months ago.

I can't explain what the goby is up to but the tank looks to be nicely done.
