kent also sells desert gobies on aquabid so you can find them under rarefish at lax thru his buddy Tanner. If you're in the LA area you can pick them up yourself.

Hi Julie,
If you really want some more desert gobies, you might want to look at Wet
Thumb Aquatics. It's where I got the ones I used to have. She also has
peacock gudgeons. Also, some assorted rainbowfish. See
http://www.wetthumbaquatics.com/fish_list.htm. The gobies are not always
listed but it can't hurt to email and ask. Don't ask why, but the gobies are
listed under catfish. :)

Hi Julie,
If you really want some more desert gobies, you might want to look at Wet
Thumb Aquatics. It's where I got the ones I used to have. She also has
peacock gudgeons. Also, some assorted rainbowfish. See
http://www.wetthumbaquatics.com/fish_list.htm. The gobies are not always
listed but it can't hurt to email and ask. Don't ask why, but the gobies are
