Description
The Frog Goby is a small, bottom-dwelling fish known for its speckled body and large head, resembling a frog. Native to arid regions of Australia, it is remarkably adaptable to varying water conditions, including slightly brackish environments. They are generally peaceful but can be territorial with conspecifics, especially males.
