My 2 cents. I been watching this little Mandarin Goby and am just amazed at what a complicated design it is especially the way it moves and the way it uses it's fins. It seems almost to be treading water constantly with the side fins. Here's a video of it with the mast (dorsal fin) up and then down, of more particular interest and note was the breathing gills at the shoulder which you can see them opening and closing here. I wouldn't blame Jim if he didn't include Goby in his tank as it seems it would be a lot of work. I don't think it would look too much out of place as there were a whole bunch of "regular" fishes in this tank with this Goby, but it certainly is distinguished.

PS. For some reason your link went wonky minn and I fixed it, Jav.
