Hello fellow Steemians! I require some assistance. A few weeks ago I received some new fish for my community tank.
At first I thought they were Desert Gobies - which are usually quite colourful. They were an almost uniform brown when I first got them so I did some checking and came to the conclusion that they were Chinese Gudgeons.
Now that they’re nice and comfortable, their colours are coming out and i’m leaning back towards thinking that they’re Desert Gobies again. I’ve done a lot of research trying to identify these fish and I see that Desert Gobies and Chinese Gudgeons are very similar. They look more or less the same and occupy a similar niche in their ecosystems. There is also a great deal of overlap in their geographical distribution. In fact there are so many similarities that I think they may indeed be the same species.
Are there any fish enthusiasts on Steem that can help me identify these fish?
I’d really like to get a positive identification. So if you think you know what these fish are please let me know in the comments below. Whoever provides the best answer before this post pays out will receive 1 Steem and the total value of the payout for this post. Thanks Steem!!!
