Comments: Adults prefer muddy bays and estuaries; encountered in fresh water (Ref. 13628), with a salinity range of 0.0 to 25.5 ppt (Ref. 97140).  Also found offshore on muddy bottoms, off mouths of large rivers.  Largest goby in the Caribbean, and the only one with this distinctive eel-like shape (Ref. 26938).
