Joe Potato Fish Addict Kind of a Big Deal Posts: 869 Votes: 309 Registered: 09-Jan-2001	Gobiodes broussonnetii, also called the dragon goby or the violet goby. A peaceful scavenger that lives in brackish water. Here's a previous thread on the violet goby. It should answer a lot of the questions you have about it and it provides some helpful links. Joe Potato Edit: Another useful link. Last edited by Joe Potato at 10-Jan-2006 00:14
