Stigmatogobius
Stigmatogobius is a genus of fish in the goby subfamily, Gobionellinae. It is distributed in the Indo-Pacific region, specifically the Indo-Malayan zone. Species can be found along the substrate or hiding in plant litter in freshwater habitat, and sometimes in estuary habitat, such as mangrove stands.
Several species are of commercial importance as aquarium pets. In the trade they are known generally as knight gobies, and the individual species are often confused and misidentified.
