What am I?

[nicolej]

So I know this little girl is some type of gudgeon... but what? The LFS had her IDed as a "Burmese Sailfin Goby"...but I can't find any evidence that there is such a thing online. They had 4 in stock, 3 females and one male. The male had picked a female and was in breeding colors.. he was very dark bodied with horizontal body stripes and some speckles on his fins. This little girl really is as yellow as she looks in the pic. The closest thing I can find online is some people IDing some Empire Gobys that look like her.. but no male pics of an Empire Goby look like the male in the tank?

Anyhoo, any help would be greatly appreciated because i currently have her in a 10 gallon and am worried she will end up too big for it, so knowing what she will help me figure that out!

Thanks

Nicole

A google search of "Burmese Sailfin Goby" gave me a couple of sites that identified the BSG as Hypseleotris cyprinoides or Tropical Carp-gudgeon.
