Brachygobius
''Brachygobius'' is a small genus of goby, gobies. They are popular aquarium fish where a number of species are sold as bumblebee gobies because their colours are similar to those of bumblebees. Morphology Bumblebee gobies range in size from 1.5 cm to 4 cm.Schäfer F: Brackish Water Fishes, pp 49–51, Aqualog 2005, They are generally coloured black with pale yellow to orange bands.Naomi Delventhal in Monks, Neale (2006): ''Brackish Water Fishes'', pp 131–132, TFH Publishing. Males are generally slimmer than females and often have more vivid colours, typically orange rather than yellow. Females may also have smaller and rounder heads. When spawning, the colours of the males become deeper, the orange bands becoming red in the case of ''Brachygobius doriae''. Taxonomy This genus is informally divided by taxonomists into the dwarf ''Brachygobius nunus''-species group (e.g., ''B. nunus'', ''B. aggregatus'', and ''B. mekongensis'') and the bigger ''Brachygobius doriae''- ...

Brachygobius Sabanus
''Brachygobius sabanus'' is one of 8 species of goby in the ''Brachygobius'' genus, which all share the common name of bumblebee fish or bumblebee goby due to their characteristic black and yellow stripes. Over the past two centuries, efforts to distinguish different species within the ''Brachygobius'' genus have occurred within scientific literature; ''Brachygobius sabanus'' was described within literature as its own species in 1958, by Robert F. Inger. Other gobies within the genus are ''B. nunus'', ''B. doriae'', ''B. alcocki'', ''B. sua'', ''B. xanthomelas'', ''B. aggregatus'', and ''B. kabiliensis''. Taxonomy Brachygobius sabanus belongs to the class Actinopterygii, known as the ray-finned fishes, which encompasses a vast number of fish species and represents half of all living vertebrates on Earth.Henderson, Struan “;” Dunne, Emma M. “;” Fasey, Sophie A. “;” Giles, Sam (2023). “The early diversification of ray‐finned fishes (Actinopterygii): hypotheses, chall ...

Gobionellinae
The Gobionellinae are a subfamily of fish which was formerly classified in the family Gobiidae, the gobies, but the 5th Edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the subfamily as part of the family Oxudercidae. Members of Gobionellinae mostly inhabit estuarine and freshwater habitats; the main exception is the genus '' Gnatholepis'', which live with corals in marine environments.Larson, H. K. and D. J. Buckle. (2012)A revision of the goby genus ''Gnatholepis'' Bleeker (Teleostei, Gobiidae, Gobionellinae), with description of a new species.''Zootaxa'' 3529: 1–69. The subfamily is distributed in tropical and temperate regions around the world with the exception of the northeastern Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Ponto-Caspian region. It includes around 370 species and 55 genera: Wikipedia articles about genera list about 389 species.
