Violet goby???

[DreamCatcher87]

Okay, i was out yesterday at a boat launch down in biloxi mississippi throwing a cast net...i caught this fish that appears to be a violet goby...except it appears to have two dorsal fins and one sticks up like a sailfin goby's would...also the tail is long and rounded at the end...is this a violet goby??? i thought they were brackish water fish not saltwater....

Pics would help...

[leveldrummer]

many times brackish fish will venture a little into the saltier water and into the fresher water,

Its like us going to Tijuana for a good time

Mississippi coast is a perfect place to catch violet/dragon gobies, and since very precious little else even comes close to looking like one, I'd have to assume that that's what Dreamcatcher caught.

They do sometimes venture out into open ocean, as they are able to take varying levels of salt due to their normal brackish environment.

Heck, if you still have it, you can always send it to me

There's a sleeper goby in the same area which sounds even more like this specimen, now that I think about it.
