Brachygobius Doriae
Brachygobius Doriae is distinct from many of the other species in the genus Brachygobius and has been placed by some ichthyologists in the genus Hypogymnogobius.It is very rare in the wild, and has not been imported as an aquarium fish, despite the widespread use of the name in the aquarium literature..Brachygobius is a small genus of gobies. They are popular aquarium fish where a number of species are sold as bumblebee gobies because their colours are similar to those of bumblebees.Bumblebee gobies range in size from 1.5 cm to 4 cm. They are generally coloured black with pale yellow to orange bands. Males are generally slimmer than females and often have more vivid colours, typically orange rather than yellow.Females may also have smaller and rounder heads.When spawning, the colours of the males become deeper, the orange bands becoming red in the case of Brachygobius doriae.Bumblebee gobies are found across Southern and Southeast Asia primarily in freshwater habitats but also in slightly brackish waters.
