Rhinogobius is a genus of primarily freshwater gobies in the family Oxudercidae, native to tropical and temperate parts of eastern Asia.[1] Most are small, streamlined in shape, and often sexually dimorphic. Few are of commercial importance, but R. duospilus is fairly widely traded as an aquarium fish.
