Dear Wet Web Media
<Danie>
Please can you help to identify this goby?
<Mmm... is a Coryphopterus sp... maybe Coryphopterus urospilus, Ginsburg 1938, the Redlight Goby. >
I have live plants in my tropical aquarium and there are some algae growing on it. How can I remove it or prevent it?

About where was this collected geographically? Bob Fenner>
