@Silvermist

Yup Goby species Japun na. When I did the research, wala ko kitag Common name niya sa net, ang word nga "Bia" kay local name na sa Philippines. Probably we are one of a few hobbyst ang naka obtain ana nga species. Mostly are researchers from different countries. That Goby species is related sa katong Isda sa karaan nga coin, murag 10 centavos man cguro to.

unsa gani name ato na pandaka?

Our first entry is a fish that is endemic to the Australian Continent. A fish so amazing that it can live in Pools that has a temperature that sometimes reaches almost halfway to the BOILING POINT!!! There are 14 other related species but this one in particular was feartured in BBC's "Wild Australia"



COMMON NAME:
Dalhousie Hardyhead

SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Craterocephalus dalhousiensis


HABITAT AND ECOLOGY:

Dalhousie hardyheads occur in the wild at temperatures from 20°C to 40°C (68 to 104°F) and make very brief excursions into water of 41.8°C (107°F). This is the highest recorded voluntary temperature tolerance of any Australian fish and one of the hottest voluntary temperatures that fish have been recorded at anywhere in the world!. They are generally found in the pools and channels in the spring outflows. The minimum dissolved oxygen tolerated is 0.5 mg O2/L. Their diet consists mostly of green filamentous algae but also includes ciliates, ostracods, insects, hydrobiid snails, detritus, and worms


NOTES:

Dalhousie hardyhead is the only member of the genus known to be morphologically sexually dimorphic. Virtually nothing is known of reproduction in the wild. In aquaria they are easily spawned. They probably lay in excess of around 20 eggs a day when temperatures are maintained over 24°C (75°F). Their upper spawning temperature is yet to be investigated. They readily spawn on mops, most spawning activity takes place in the morning. They also readily eat their eggs. At 28°C (83°F) eggs take about 7 days to hatch. Fry are about 5mm (0.2in) TL at hatching. Fry are usually first fed vinegar eels until they are large enough to ingest baby brine shrimp. Fry typically grow slowly in aquaria. It is not known whether they reproduce throughout the year or seasonally under natural conditions.

@Optimusprime

Nasayop kog name ato, katong naa pata sa Laundryshop, it turned out nga wala diay to common name sa aquarium trade. We may call it "Greater Pygmy Goby" since its obviously bigger that the "Dwarf Pygmy Goby" and wala man koy makita nga common name in English.Common name niya in Japan kay "Mitsuboshi"
