Another Japanese Fish

Look at this little guy!
It does not really look like a goby to me

They are calling him a Japanese Cave Goby
Personally I would call hima Japanese Cave Minnow

Trimma tevegae (Blue-Striped Cave Goby, Blue-Striped Dwarfgoby, Tevega Cave Goby)

I saw one of those!!! Geez, I forget where...

Trimma gobies are my favorite!
Ideal nano tank candidate especially for a species tank that is low light.
I don't suggest in a larger tank, they can easily become food for just about anything with a mouth, and they disappear in anything larger than a 75 gallon.

I thought the same when I read the description and then kathy said she had seen it somewhere and I thought to myself ''probably inside some other fishes mouth''

I have a wholesaler that used to order a bunch of these, he loved em also. I love buying them, but they were a PITA to sell. Hard to display because they tend to hang on the inside of ledges upside down, not to mention they would come in at 1/2" in size.
