Brachygobius doriae, the bumblebee goby, is a species of goby native to fresh and brackish waters of Indonesia, Brunei and Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam. This species can reach a length of 4.2 centimetres (1.7 in) TL.[2] It is listed as Least Concern as no threats are known and it is popular in the aquarium trade.
Etymology
The fish is named in honor of zoologist Giacoma Doria (1840-1913), who was the president of the Italian Geographic Society, and who collected fish in Borneo and sent them to the British Museum (Natural History), including the type specimen of this one.[3]
