Schismatogobius deraniyagalai, the redneck goby, is a species of goby native to India and Sri Lanka.[1] This species inhabits river shallows, where it prefers areas with substrates that range from sand to gravel in which it can hide when threatened. This species can reach a total length of 4.5 cm (1.8 in). It can also be found in the aquarium trade.[2] The specific name honours the Sri Lankan paleontologist and zoologist Paul E. P. Deraniyagala (1900-1976) for his contribution to the natural history of Sri Lanka.[3]
