i've never seen a snakehead gudgeon, i thought they were a species of sleeper goby. Anyway this photo just looks like the standard sleeper goby they sell in stores.
 
I've seen them sold around here as 'fat sleeper goby'. I think it they look like the one you've got here, of course i could be wrong because i'm not an expert.
 
i may be wrong but it resembles the fat sleeper goby but there are a lot of differences. may be some experts can help...?

This is not snake head, it's a goby.

Just note the top fin, it's round difference from long fin of snake head.

That is snakehead gudgeon, they are sleepers . Eleotridae is the family of fish they are in. The name has nothing to do with snakehead fish. They are named snakehead gudgeon's because of the shape of their head.
