I have not found much info on my peacock gudgeons. Also not much on my wood shrimp. And I have 4 "darters" I think, but have been unable to ID them.

You're not likely to find any information at all online about Phenablennius heyligeri (besides a few notes on Fishbase). Most everything I have learned about them has been from my own observations. I had to contact an ichthyologist with the Smithsonian Institution in order to get them positively identified. That was some time last year, and he said that it was a species known from only eight preserved museum specimens. I've seen them on the availablity lists several times since then, however, so it is likely that people are learning more about the species everyday. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.
