Great species! They look really good. How many do you own?

Very pretty. Some type of Sicyopus; Fishbase suggests Sicyopus jonklaasi but the photo there is a fish with mottled brown colouration. Possibly a female in the that case, and a male here?

Hillstream rather than brackish water fish, though I dare say they'll tolerate low salinity without complaint. Otherwise, it's only the larvae that are marine, and as the fish mature, they leave the sea and swim back into rivers. Maintenance likely similar to things like Stiphodon gobies and hillstream suckers.
