  Goby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gobies form the family Gobiidae, and are one of the largest families of fish, with over 2000 known species.
The most remarkable aspect of this symbiosis is that many of the fish that visit the cleaner gobies' cleaning station would otherwise treat such small fish as food (for example groupers and snappers).
It is widely believed that the Gobiidae and Eleotridae share a common ancestor, and they are both placed in the order Gobioidei, along with a few other small families containing goby-like fishes.

Nevertheless, Proterorhinus marmoratus (tubenose goby, Marmorierte Grundel) is native to eastern Austria whereas Neogobius kessleri (bighead goby, Kessler Grundel) is an example of a ponto-caspian invader which may have reached the upper Danube by passive dispersal.
The reduced pattern of this sensory system (head canals and free neuromasts) is closely related with the life style of this small gobiid which lives in the burrows of a shrimp.

From mud bottoms to rocky outcroppings, from open sandy bays to inside sponges and gorgonians, from the equator to the polar circle, from freshwater to marine environments, Gobiidae have truly conquered the water world.
In fact, the Gobiidae family is the largest family of marine fish, consisting of over 2,000 species, yet, the members of this family are amongst the smallest of marine fish.
Presumably, their overall range and size are two of the main reasons that new goby species are still being discovered on a regular basis.

Mimicking a sandbed that is similar to the colors of your goby will aid in their transition into captivity and likely allow for ease of viewing.
The Gobiidae is the largest family of marine fish with over 2,000 members, and it is still growing.
Additionally, several other sexually dimorphic traits are also present such as the longer pelvic fins, darker pigmentation in spots or blotches, and horizontal striping, found on the males.

To date, five species of the Italian gobiid fauna are known to produce sounds: Padogobius martensii, Gobius nigricans and Knipowitschia punctatissima are three endemic freshwater species; Zosterisessor ophiocephalus and Gobius jozo (=niger) are predominantly marine species.

The relative importance of the Gobiidae is increased by the presence of other species that enter the rivers occasionally.
The Cyprinidae family is the most widely represented, with 21 species, followed by Gobiidae with 5 species (all of which are completely adapted to fresh water).
The significance of the Gobiidae is further illustrated by the presence of another five species that temporarily enter the rivers.

They are divided into two to six families, while the latest classification recognizes three families: Rhyacichthyidae, Odontobutidae, and Gobiidae.
Members of the family Gobiidae are defined as small fishes, ranging in size from 1 cm TL (Trimmatom nanus) to 66 cm TL (Oxeleostris mamorata).
They have two dorsal fins, pelvic fins which are often fused to form a cupshaped disk, no lateral line, and most, though not all species, have scales.

The Bumble Bee Goby, Dragon Fish and Mudskipper(!) are true Gobies from the family Gobiidae.
In Eleotridae the pelvic fins are always separate; in Gobiidae they are more or less fused.
