I don't know how that last change got approved, but it is completely incorrect.

1. This is a brackish species. It belongs in the brackish section (synonymous with the "freshwater" section). The Blennoid and Goboid section is designed for marine species only. It's not really that difficult to understand.

2. Putting this species in the marine section is going to make it more difficult for beginning aquarists to locate, defeating the purpose of the profile even being in existence.

3.If the Violet Goby profile is moved to the marine section, then the other goby/blenny profiles will have to be moved to the marine section as well, which is absurd to the highest degree. Such species include Brachygobius xanthozona, Butis butis, Eleotris fusca, Phenablennius heyligeri, Philypnodon sp, and Rhinogobius wui. Most of these species are completely freshwater.

What's next, moving all the freshwater puffers into the marine puffers category, simply because they are members of the family Tetraodontidae? Moving every cichlid profile into the marine Percoid section simply because they are Percoids? It's all the same, it's all equally ridiculous.

Yes, it deffinitely does not belong in the SW area. What we need is a section for FW and brackish gobies. But for now I guess it does need to be in "Other FW species".
