Redigobius is a genus of fish in the goby family, Gobiidae, known commonly as dualspot gobies.[1] They are native to the western Indo-Pacific region, where they occur in estuaries and freshwater habitats just above the tidal influence.[2]
Some of these gobies are abundant fish species. The most widespread is the speckled goby (R. bikolanus),[2] which occurs throughout the western Pacific Ocean and from Australia to Africa.[3] Some Redigobius are kept as aquarium pets.[2] The Fijian endemic Lever's goby (R. leveri) is featured on the ten-dollar bill in the 2013 series of Fijian currency.[4]
There are currently 14 recognized species in this genus.[5] In a 2010 revision the genus was reduced to 12 species and two more were described as new.[2]
