Deleted the last body of text: "This species is popular as an ornamental fish. But this is rare" . I opted to delete these sentences and their citation (3) because I couldn't find anything refrencing this species being kept as an ornamental fish in the citation. The source had also been used in a preious paragraph.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Mugilogobius rambaiae, commonly known as the Queen of Siam goby, is a species of freshwater goby from Sri Lanka and South-east Asia to New Guinea.[2] It occurs in freshwater or the very low salinities of inner estuaries, and also in areas where Nypa fruticans grows. This species moves up rivers in the rainy season.[1]

Its species name rambaiae is named in honour of Queen Rambai Barni, who was the wife and Queen Consort of King Prajadhipok (Rama VII) of Siam. It was first discovered in a khlong (canal) in Bangkok near the Chao Phraya Delta in 1945 by H.M. Smith.[3]
