bumblebee goby Brachygobius kabiliensis Family Gobiidae updated Feb 11 Where seen? This tiny fat banded goby is commonly seen in our mangroves, in pools at low tide. This goby is different from the Bumblebee goby (Brachygobius doriae) in the aquarium trade. Elsewhere, it is found in fresh and brackish water including in mangroves. Features: Tiny, about 1.5cm long. Rather fat and short and stout, with black and yellowish bands along its body, it does indeed resemble a bumble bee! There is often a black heart-shaped blotch on the head just behind the eyes! What does it eat? It feeds on zooplankton. |
