ID this fish- if you can!

A while back my favorite LFS called me about some rare loaches. He put some pictures up of his stock on his facebook page and I think this is what he was talking about:

It's a bad picture and frankly I have no idea what it is; not even sure if it's the loach he was talking about. But I'm curious, and who doesn't love a challenge?

(For the smug and the smart alecs- yes, that's a shrimp in the foreground; I'm talking about the fish behind it )

I think they're called like neon blue stiphodon gobies.

IM guessing "dead"

Agree that it looks like a stiphodon sp.

 

[sinibotia]

Yep, that definitely looks like it. Which means the identity of the rare loaches he got is still a mystery...

Thanks for the help!

Yep, more commonly know as the Sumatran Blue Cobalt Goby. Cool fish, apparently supposed to help clean up algae. Never seen them in person though.
