Meet the cow goby!

Well, here is an oddball that I have.

It is one hell of an eating machine!

It currently measures 9.5" to the base of its tale and is apparently over full size.
It is possibly one the best show fish I have ever had.

sweet! is it freshwater?

It is a freshwater/brackishwater fish. I have it in freshwater and there are no problems at all. I presume it inhabits freshwater and/or possibly esturies.

It is a preditory fish which waits for the prey to get within striking distance. It hunts them down and then waits for the right moment.

It has eaten a 3-4" rainbow cichlid whole in the past. I had hoped it might co-inhabit the tank with it as it seemed a little large for a meal.....the goby proved otherwise!

I tend to feed it mainly on prawn, white bait and worms, although it does have the occasional runt.
