Sorry about the duplicate folks, getting hard to keep track of every species we have gone through.
Coralite- I meant to thank you for posting that video or I would have never known about that fish... and thanks to Jason @ Greenwich Aq. who was initially reluctant, but shipped it to me after some persuasion.

Well, we may have two people up at once? In any event, you've heard my complaining about these tight crops - so I searched my files for a full-fish photo that might stump you folks, but I've mostly run our of material.
I do offer this up - Here is the hint: this is a brackish water fish.
BTW: I've bred them through five generations. They spawn readily inside PVC pipe but always seem to eat their eggs or larva. The trick to raising them is to roll some plastic gel inside the pipe, then gently remove it after the eggs are deposited and incubate them in another tank. Rotifers were the first food.

Ian is correct that it is a round goby, I just returned from a two day invasive species seminar and this species is highly invasive in the United States. We got our's from a angler who caught them in Lake St. Clair almost 20 years ago and he knew they were something odd. We ended up breeding them and sending eggs and the larval series to a reseracher at the U of M. Part of knowing how to eradicate a pest is to understand its biology.

Yep - we discovered that when we put zebra mussels and round gobies in the same exhibit. We later quantified the rate at which they would eat the mussels. The problem is that although they'll eat them, they prefer native fish....
