Goby fish are primarily found in both freshwater and marine environments around the world, with a significant diversity in tropical and subtropical regions. They are especially abundant in coastal areas, estuaries, and coral reefs. Many species, like the popular freshwater gobies, originate from rivers and lakes in Asia and Africa. Overall, gobies are widely distributed, with over 2,000 species identified globally.
The scientific name for a neon gobie is Gobsioma oceanops
Goby fish generally prefer warmer waters, typically thriving in temperatures ranging from 22 to 28 degrees Celsius (72 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit). However, the specific temperature requirements can vary depending on the species of goby. Some gobies can adapt to a range of temperatures, but maintaining a stable warm environment is essential for their health and well-being.
The smallest fish amongst those mentioned would generally be the dwarf goby. They typically reach lengths of only 1-2 inches, making them much smaller than sampan dwarf cod, agar, or dwarf goldfish.
Schwannomas originate in the Schwann cells
The round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is typically considered to occupy a trophic level of 3, functioning as a carnivorous consumer. It primarily feeds on benthic invertebrates, small fish, and eggs, positioning it as a predator within freshwater ecosystems. Additionally, as a prey species, it can also be found in the diets of larger predators, further influencing its ecological role.
