  Dormitator maculatus (Sleeper Goby)

  Jade Sleeper Gobies are tube-shaped fish, female with blue/gray coloration while the male has the same base coloration, but is more colorful having orange and green on his stomach and dorsal.
  
  They do best in brackish waters, but hard freshwater or even full saltwater are options.
  
  These fish are extremely personable. For the first couple of weeks, I never saw them as they were always hiding in the rocks. But now they swim right into my hand to retrieve whatever food I happen to be offering.
