Guess the brackish water fish

[sandtiger]

thoses things look freaky
but they also are feeders to my turtle lol

If they are feeders to your turtle then what are they?

Hiya Paintboi! Welcome to MFK! They look like some kind of shrimp goby to me but not one I have run across or can find a picture of. What is your guess?

 

[guppy]

I have been blinding myself by my own expectations, not a goby but a dragonet, how about either simplespined or more likely arrow dragonet, (Callionymus sagitta or C. simplicicornis)?

 

[guppy]

When I run a search on them I keep getting pics like this but I know the arrow dragonet is brackish

 

[sandtiger]

Nope, not even the right genus.

 

[guppy]

Okay, I can't find pictures of these but the only dragonets listed as brackish that are other genus are Eleutherochir operculis, And Synchhiropus altivelus and S. marmoratus.

 

[sandtiger]

Need a hint? It is not a dragonet.

 

[guppy]

How about a sand darter, Family Kraemeriidae?

 

[guppy]

Hello, is this thing on?

 

[sandtiger]

It's on, but I wasen't. Yes, it is a sand darter.
