    Lol as far as i know the Knight Gobies are not on the blacklist... I gave one away the other day due to space issues, and it was an amazing fish... as for the brackish yes it is a brackish fish but will survive in freshwater, compatible with puffers... man I am going to setup, brackish tank again there some really nice brackish fish out there...

    Edit: also known as Fan Dancer Gobies...

    From what I could find online the Knight Gobies are technically brackish, but they live happily in fresh water. You just have to find out what setup they're in where you get them from.

    As for Monos, Pet City in Montana, Pretoria, has them quite regularly along with archers and scats.

    Whipme you are right but to be honest most "Brackish fish" are not kept in Brackish water from the stores... it is a sad shame but tru
