Oxyeleotris marmorata

While in state of boredom, managed to change my header into something more relevant.. and hopefully partially accurate!



The Marble Goby or called Soon Hock (Now i know)

Is a large, solitary, slow-moving fish which rests undisturbed on the bottom of quiet streams, canals and lakes (er...)

It rarely moves (er.. maybe)

Even when disturbed (yeah rite, maybe partially true, annoy me too much and see..)

This fish looks ugly or nasty but tastes very delicious (Ugly?! #.# and ooh yess.., i am delicious in every part!)

It is a very important high economic value fish in Southeast Asia including Thailand, Peninsula Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia and now in Taiwan and Mainland China (oh yes, high economic value, thats right..)
