This is the only omobranchus found in Asia right?

no. there are many more found in taiwan and japan.

this is the only one that matched our location and habitat.

Singapore's own Omobranchus... Endemic to Singapore..

it's not endemic to singapore.

Omobranchus meniscus is found in thailand, singapore and maybe indonesia.

Oh.. But it is nice to have them and be the first to capture its photo..

True. The wonders of Google-fu. Funny why someone would put the species name of a newly discovered species up on the internet without a photograph of it.

Always something more important than fish.

If it is newly discovered, it should have a photo... but no photo of it on the net... Not very nice fish? I find it cute..

since there's no photo, we might not even be correct that ours is O. meniscus. we're just very certain only.

even naoko wrasse, which looks so different from rubriventralis, was not even confirmed a new species until dorsal fin count, scale count, DNA sequence. scientists take no chances.

our blenny might have no photo because maybe at that time it was very rare and only 1 holotype has been collected. like Apolymichthys guezei.

and that photo was way too cui to be put up on fishbase :P

Your photos will not make it to fishbase. You know why? All the photos on fishbase are of dead fish. :idea:

no not all lah lol.

only the rarer ones are dead or drawn. butterflies, angels, alot are live photos.
