Lentipes is a genus of gobies native to fresh, marine and brackish waters of the Malay Archipelago and islands in the Pacific. Its species are typically from fast-flowing streams and some are anadromous. [1]
There are currently 18 recognized species in this genus:
Stiphodon is a genus of freshwater gobies. They inhabit swift, clear streams close to the sea and are found in large parts of Asia and Oceania. Many of the 36 currently recognized species have extremely restricted distributions on single islands or even single streams. These are small gobies with bodies squarish in cross section. A female of Stiphodon multisquamus with a standard length of 60.4mm is the largest Stiphodon individual on record.
Schismatogobius is a genus of fish in the subfamily Gobionellinae. They are native to southern and eastern Asia, Australia and the Pacific Islands. Adults dwell in freshwater habitat such as streams and rivers, where they live along the sand and gravel substrates.
Acentrogobius is a genus of gobies native to marine, fresh and brackish waters of the coasts of the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean.
Melanotaenia is a genus of rainbowfish from Australia, Indonesia, New Guinea, and nearby smaller islands.
Mugilogobius is a genus of fish in the family Gobiidae. They are found in fresh, brackish and marine water of the Indo-Pacific region. Several of the freshwater species have highly restricted distributions.
Oxyeleotris is a genus of sleeper gobies mostly restricted to Australia and New Guinea, though some are found in Southeast Asia.
Sicyopterus is a genus of gobies native fresh waters from Madagascar to the Pacific islands.
Sicyopus is a genus of small gobies. Most are native to fast-flowing streams and rivers in Southeast Asia and Melanesia, but S. zosterophorus also occurs in China, Japan and Palau, S. nigriradiatus is restricted to Pohnpei, S. jonklaasi is restricted to Sri Lanka, and S. lord is restricted to Madagascar.
Stenogobius is a genus of fish in the goby subfamily, Gobionellinae. They are native to fresh, brackish and marine waters along the coasts of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. They are known commonly as coastal stream gobies.
The Sicydiinae are a small subfamily of freshwater gobies, with only nine genera. They are usually found in fast-moving mountain streams in tropical islands. They are characterized by highly developed rounded suction discs and an amphidromous lifecycle. Adult lengths range from 2 to 15 cm. Some species are popular in the aquarium trade. The genera included under Sicydiinae are:
Akihito vanuatu, the Vanuatu's emperor, is a species of fish in the family Oxudercidae, the gobies. It is endemic to Vanuatu, where it inhabits streams and pools. Males of this species can reach a length of 4.3 centimetres (1.7 in) SL while females can reach 3.9 centimetres (1.5 in) SL.
Stiphodon annieae is a freshwater goby only occurring in Halmahera, Indonesia.
Stiphodon sapphirinus, the sapphire stiphodon, is a species of goby found both the North Province and South Province of New Caledonia and in Vanuatu. This species can reach a length of 3.0 centimetres (1.2 in) SL.
Sicyopterus calliochromus is a species of goby that is only known from the waters of the Tirawiwa River, which is a major tributary of the Wapoga River, which in turn flows into the eastern edge of Cenderawasih Bay, in the Papua Province in Indonesia. This species can reach a length of 5.8 centimetres (2.3 in) SL.
Sicyopterus erythropterus is a species of goby that is only known from the waters of the Tirawiwa River, which is a major tributary of the Wapoga River, which in turn flows into the eastern edge of Cenderawasih Bay, in the Independent State of Papua New Guinea. This species can reach a length of 6.8 centimetres (2.7 in) SL.
Sicyopterus stiphodonoides is a species of goby that is foundin the Solomon Islands and in the Papua Province in Indonesia. This species can reach a length of 3.3 centimetres (1.3 in) SL.
Sicyopterus ocellaris is a species of goby that is only known from the Nuru River, in northeastern Papua New Guinea. This species can reach a length of 4.1 centimetres (1.6 in) SL.
Sicyopterus lengguru is a species of goby that is from Papua New Guinea. This species can reach a length of 9.0 centimetres (3.5 in) SL.
