Hypseleotris is a genus of sleeper gobies. Most are from fresh water in Australia and New Guinea, but species in fresh and brackish water are found around islands in the western Indian Ocean, southern and eastern Africa, southern and eastern Asia, and Pacific islands.[1] The largest species reaches a length of 12 cm (4.7 in).[2] They are sometimes seen in the aquarium trade; especially H. compressa.
