| Natalie | Reject Reject, because someone searching for information on this species isn't likely going to be browsing the saltwater profiles (putting it in the "Blennoid and Gobioid" category will automatically make it a marine profile). Violet Gobies are almost always sold as freshwater fish in stores, even though they do best with some salt in the water. |

| GobyFan2007 | What! I didnt know if you placed it in the Goboid/Blennoid category it would be listed as marine! Besides, wouldnt you just either use the fish finder or the search to find it? |

| Natalie | The Fish Finder is not a very effective tool and it is much faster to just browse the profiles of the appropriate category. The characteristics given in this feature are subject to a wide range of interpretation, and what one person searches for might seem completely wrong to another person. For example, in an attempt to search for the Violet Goby, I selected the following choices, which seem correct to me: Salinity: Freshwater Markings: No Markings Mouth: Upturned Tail: Convex Main Colors: Gray, Silver And what did I get? Nothing. Not a single match. When I click "Show Partial Matches", I get about 200 profiles back, most of which have absolutely nothing to do with the Violet Goby. Granted, the species did show up on this list, but there isn't even a picture on the profile so a beginning aquarist probably wouldn't even click it. The point of all this is that if the profile is moved to the Blennoid and Goboid section, and therefore the marine profiles section, it's going to be "out of reach" for beginning aquarists that are searching for the freshwater fish they just bought (even if it is actually not a freshwater fish). The profiles on this site are divided into two sections - "marine profiles" and "freshwater and brackish profiles". The Violet Goby, as a brackish fish, should stay in the brackish section so as not to make the information more difficult to find, even though it is a member of the family Gobiidae. |
