Mogurnda mogurnda, commonly known as the northern trout gudgeon or northern purple-spotted gudgeon is a freshwater fish native to northern Australia and New Guinea. [2]

Eleotridae is a family of fish commonly known as sleeper gobies, with about 34 genera and 180 species. Most species are found in the tropical Indo-Pacific region, but there are also species in subtropical and temperate regions, warmer parts of the Americas and near the Atlantic coast in Africa. While many eleotrids pass through a planktonic stage in the sea and some spend their entire lives in the sea; as adults, the majority live in freshwater streams and brackish water. One of its genera, Caecieleotris, is troglobitic. They are especially important as predators in the freshwater stream ecosystems on oceanic islands such as New Zealand and Hawaii that otherwise lack the predatory fish families typical of nearby continents, such as catfish. Anatomically, they are similar to the gobies (Gobiidae), though unlike the majority of gobies, they do not have a pelvic sucker.
Mogurnda clivicola, commonly known as the Flinders Ranges mogurnda, Flinders Ranges purple-spotted gudgeon, Barcoo, or Bulloo mogurnda, is a central Australian gudgeon of the family Eleotridae.
Hypseleotris aurea, the golden gudgeon, is a species of fish in the family Eleotridae endemic to Australia, where it is found in rocky pools in the Murchison and Gascoyne Rivers in Western Australia. This species can reach a length of 8 cm (3.1 in). It can be found in the aquarium trade.
Hypseleotris ejuncida, the slender gudgeon or slender carp gudgeon, is a species of fish in the family Eleotridae endemic to Australia, where it is only known to occur around Kimberley in Western Australia. Its favored habitat is rocky pools. This species can reach a length of 6 cm (2.4 in).
Hypseleotris kimberleyensis, the Barnett River gudgeon, is a species of fish in the family Eleotridae endemic to Australia, where it is only known from the Barnett River system of Kimberley, Western Australia. Its preferred habitat is rocky pools and streams. This species can reach a length of 6 cm (2.4 in).
The Prince Regent gudgeon is a species of fish in the family Eleotridae endemic to Australia, where it is only known to occur in clear, rocky pools in the Prince Regent Reserve in Western Australia. This species can reach a length of 5 cm (2.0 in).
The Drysdale gudgeon is a species of fish in the family Eleotridae endemic to the Kimberley region of Australia, where it is only known from the Drysdale River system. It inhabits rocky pools and slow flowing streams. The species can reach a length of 4 cm (1.6 in). It has a light brown to purplish coloration, whitish along the belly. A series of dark brown to black bars are present along the sides, which become V-shaped towards the posterior.
Milyeringa veritas is a species of fish in the family Milyeringidae. It is endemic to groundwater and anchialine systems in caves in the Cape Range, Australia. Like other cave-adapted fish, the blind gudgeon is entirely blind and lacks pigmentation, using sensory papillae on its head and body to move around and find food. It has a reduced number of scales on its body and the head is almost scaleless. It reaches a standard length of 5 cm (2.0 in). It is listed as vulnerable under the Australian Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. It is an omnivorous species which feeds on algae and possibly also detritus, as well as invertebrates. Invertebrates consumed by M. veritas include Stygiocaris sp., aquatic insect larvae such as those of caddis flies and non aquatic invertebrates which accidentally fall into the water such as isopods, ants and cockroaches. When the gut contents have been sampled 10% of the identifiable gut contents were Stygiocaris and 70% were terrestrial species, despite this species being restricted to caves. They are often observed hanging still in the water column or resting on ledges in the cave walls, behaviours which they also display when kept in aquaria, but can move quickly to avoid capture if threatened, for example when catching them with a net is attempted. The generic name is taken from Milyering which is 20 miles (32 km) southwest of Vlamingh Head in the North West Cape of Western Australia, the type locality, and the specific name is Latin veritas meaning truth an allusion to a quote attributed to the Ancient Greek philosopher Democritus "Truth lies at the bottom of a well, the depth of which, alas! gives but little hope of release.”
Mogurnda furva, the black mogurnda, is a species of fish in the family Eleotridae endemic to Lake Kutubu in Papua New Guinea. This species can reach a length of 12 cm (4.7 in).
Mogurnda is a genus of freshwater fishes in the family Eleotridae native to eastern and northern Australia and New Guinea. Several species are endemic to Lake Kutubu in Papua New Guinea.
The Kokoda mogurnda is a species of fish in the family Eleotridae endemic to Papua New Guinea, where it is an inhabitant of clear streams in the rainforest. This species can reach a length of 8.5 cm (3.3 in).
The blotched mogurnda is a species of fish in the family Eleotridae endemic to Lake Kutubu. This species can reach a standard length of 13 cm (5.1 in).
The variegated mogurnda is a species of fish in the family Eleotridae endemic to Lake Kutubu, Papua New Guinea. This species can reach a standard length of 13 cm (5.1 in).
The striped mogurnda is a species of fish in the family Eleotridae endemic to Lake Kutubu in Papua New Guinea. This species can reach a standard length of 12.5 cm (4.9 in).
Lake Lenthall is a lake created by the Lenthalls Dam in Duckinwilla, Fraser Coast Region, Queensland, Australia. As a result of a 518 square kilometres (200 sq mi) catchment, it takes a short time in moderate rain events to fill Lake Lenthall to 100% capacity.
The Cardross Lakes are an irrigation drainage basin system located approximately 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) south-west of Mildura, in the Mallee region of Victoria, Australia. The lakes are notable for being the only known occurrence within Victoria of the Southern Purple Spotted Gudgeon (Mogurnda adspersa), discovered in 1995, believed to be extinct in Victoria since the 1930s. The Murray hardyhead can be found in the Cardross Basin.
Milyeringa justitia, commonly known as the Barrow cave gudgeon, is a species of fish in the family Milyeringidae endemic to groundwater systems (aquifers) of Barrow Island, around 50 km off the Pilbara coast in Western Australia. This troglobitic species has a pale body, lacking in pigment, and it is eyeless and blind, using sensory papillae located on the head and body to allow it to feed and move around in total darkness. The specific name justitia is Latin for "justice" and was given by the describers to complement the specific name of Milyeringa veritas which means "truth" in the hope that “As truth and justice are supposed to go together, we name this species justitia, from the Latin for justice, in the hope that justice helps the species to survive on Barrow Island, which has been an oilfield since 1967 and is most recently the site of the Gorgon Gas Hub development.” Very little is known about M. justitia as between 2002 and 2013 only six specimens were collected but its biology is assumed to be similar to that of M. veritas.
Oxyeleotris nullipora, the poreless gudgeon, is a gudgeon of the genus Oxyeleotris, a freshwater fish found in Australia and Papua New Guinea.
