Gobiinae
Sign in to saveTrue gobies were a subfamily, the Gobiinae, of the goby family Gobiidae, although the 5th edition of the Fishes of the World does not subdivide the Gobiidae into subfamilies. They are found in all oceans and a few rivers and lakes, but most live in warm waters. Altogether, the Gobiinae unite about 1149 described species in 160 genera, and new ones are still being discovered in numbers.

==Description and ecology== They are usually mid-sized to small ray-finned fishes; some are very colorful, while others are cryptic. Most true gobies are less than long when fully grown. The largest species Glossogobius giuris can reach up to ; the smallest known species as of 2010, Trimmatom nanus, is just about in length when fully grown, making it one of the smallest vertebrates.
