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.

Goby
The Gobioidei are a suborder of percomorph fish. Many of these fishes are called gobies. It is by far the largest and most diverse order within the order Gobiiformes, and one of the most diverse groups of ray-finned fish in general. The suborder, which was previously considered a suborder of Perciformes, is made up of about 2,211 species that are divided between seven families. Phylogenetic relationships of the Gobioidei have been elucidated using molecular data. Gobies are primarily small species, often with large heads and tapered bodies, that live in marine water, but roughly 10% of these species inhabit fresh water. This order is composed chiefly of benthic or burrowing species; like many other benthic fishes, most gobioids do not have a gas bladder or any other means of controlling their buoyancy in water, so they must spend most of their time on or near the bottom. Traditionally most of the species called gobies have been classified in the order Perciformes as the subord ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Oxudercidae
Oxudercidae is a family of gobies which consists of four subfamilies which were formerly classified under the family Gobiidae. The family is sometimes called the Gobionellidae, but Oxudercidae has priority. The species in this family have a cosmopolitan distribution in temperate and tropical areas and are found in marine and freshwater environments, typically in inshore, euryhaline areas with silt and sand substrates. The Oxudercidae includes 86 genera, which contain around 600 species. This family has many species which occur in fresh water, and a number of species found on wet beaches and are able to live for a number of days out of water. The family includes the mudskippers, which include species that are able to move over land quite quickly. They have eyes located on the top of their heads on short stalks. They are capable of elevating or retracting them, and they can see well out of water. One species, '' Gillichthys mirabilis'', usually stays in the water, but surfaces to gu ...

Chlamydogobius
''Chlamydogobius'' is a genus of gobies from Australia. All but one coastal species (''C. ranunculus'') are found in inland waters, such as springs, pools, creeks and streams. Most species live in extreme environments; for example, several species of ''Chlamydogobius'' are found in the water that emerges from geothermal springs, such as the Dalhousie goby, found in the waters around Dalhousie Springs. These fish can live in water with a wide range of temperatures, pH, salinity, and oxygen levels; for example they are found in water with a pH between 6.8 and 9.0, and temperatures between . They can tolerate salinity as high as 60 parts per thousand (almost twice that of sea water). They have been found in water with extremely low oxygen levels (as low as 0.8 ppm). Their water habitats often exhibit oxygen levels below 5 milligrams of oxygen per litre. To cope with extremely low oxygen levels, they will emerge from the water to "gulp" air (known as aerial respiration). They also ...

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''- ...
