You've Got Goos! Babies in da House!

[Roan Art]

wow they look a lot like darters that are found in the rivers around here (tennessee)... where does the goo name come from?

They do look like darters, don't they?

They're actually Goo obo Gudgeons, Allomogurnda nesolepis.

"Goo obo" is the name that the local natives of Paro village gave to the water falls these fish come from. I *think* "goo obo" means "beautiful waters". Paro village is in the East Sepik region of Papua New Guinea. The Sepik River (largest in New Guinea at 698 miles long) flows through all of there and there are a lot of large streams that flow out from it.
