The round gobies of Ohio where I'm from are all that you can find in some rivers because they have extirpated the native darters. So I don't like them because it's their fault there aren't darters there. I was told that there is actually a law in Ohio that says if you catch a round goby you have to step on it instead of returning it to the water.I've always been surprised there's not more interest in gobies and blennies on here... guess it's because most of NANFA is landlocked.
I do like the saltwater gobies and dragonettes. I'm in the process of setting up two 75 gallon tanks to breed mandarin dragonettes right now Mudskippers are also pretty adorable XD
The key is to look for that suction cup pelvic fin. That's a great way to tell if it's a goby or a darter.

The first darter I ever saw I thought it was a goby, then my dad taught me that gobies aren't found in WI (well not as far inland as we were.) Happy to see others are as interested in this as I am

That's a nice looking herd of youngsters. Thanks for sharing.
