| image2= Tank goby - Glossogobius giuris Hamilton 1822.jpg }}Glossogobius giuris, the tank goby, is a species of goby native to fresh, marine and brackish waters from the Red Sea and East Africa through South Asia and the Indian Ocean to China, Australia and the islands of the Pacific Ocean. This species can also be found in the aquarium trade. It is also known as the bar-eyed goby, flat-headed goby and the Gangetic tank goby.[2] DescriptionThe head is depressed with a protrudinh lower jaw while the body takes on a compressed appearance towards to caudal fin. Normally brown or light brown with various darker brown spots and fleacks along the sides. Ranges in size from 40 to 50 cm maximum (16-20 inches).[2] HabitatThis subtropical species is most often associated with estuarine habitats, although it is also found in marine water and can be found many kilometers inland in freshwater streams, up to {{convert|300|km|miles}} inland in Malawi.[1] This species is a benthopelagic and amphidromous goby which is found in clear to turbid streams with rock, gravel, or sandy substrates.[1] ReproductionLays eggs amongst submerged vegetation, where the eggs are guarded by both the male and the female. They will spawn in freshwater, the eggs being taken to the sea by the current,[2] although it can complete its whole life cycle in freshwater.[1] In South Africa it breeds in the summer while in northern Australia breeding takes place in the dry season.[1] FeedingA carnivorous fish, it will eat any small fish and invertebrates it comes across.[2] Cannibalism has been recorded.[1] Human InteractionUnusually for a goby this species is commercially exploited, possibly due to its large size, and sold fresh or frozen. It also appears in the aquarium trade.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite journal | author1 = Larson, H. | author2 = Britz, R. | author3 = Sparks, J.S. | last-author-amp = yes | year = 2016 | title = Glossogobius giuris | journal = The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species | volume = 2016 | page = e.T166533A19011337 | doi = 10.2305/IUCN.UK.2016-3.RLTS.T166533A19011337.en }} {{Taxonbar|from=Q2114967}}2. ^1 2 3 {{FishBase |genus= Glossogobius|species= giuris| month = June | year = 2013}} 8 : Glossogobius|Fish of Africa|Fish of Australia|Fish of South Asia|Fish of Bangladesh|Fish of India|Fish of China|Fish described in 1822 |
