Hi-

 

I see a small goby at the LFS that reminds me a little bit of a cute version of a plesticomus (sp?). It is dark-colored and swims along the bottom. I asked the LFS man what it was and now I don't remember what he told me. Can someone clue me in?

No, definitely not a mandarin- I know what those look like. This little fish scoots in kind of a jerky motion along the bottom and is black and gray. They are quite common because I've seen them in pet stores before.

Thanks,

Tasha
