Amblyopinae

Odontamblyopus lacepedii

The Amblyopinae are a subfamily of gobies ( Gobiidae ) that stand out thanks to its elongated shape and live in tropical, marine and brackish waters worldwide. The German name of the subfamily ( Aalgrundeln ) can be confused with the White Stripes Aalgrundel ( Pholidichthys leucotaenia ) lead, a marine fish, which is not among the gobies.

Features

Their dorsal fins are always connected by a membrane, sometimes also associated with the caudal and anal fins to form a continuous band. The eyes are point-like tiny. Aalgrundeln often live in the intertidal zone and contract at low tide in burrows in the mud.
