X-ray tetra
Pristella maxillaris
This is that little see-through tetra where you can kinda make out the spine inside the body, and then it tops it off with those sharp black/yellow/white fin markings and a reddish tail. Super chill schooling fish, and it's one of those rare tetras that doesn't freak out if your water isn't "perfect Amazon blackwater" 24/7.
Yellowfin toxic goby
Yongeichthys criniger
An Indo-Pacific goby found on coastal mud/silty sand flats and in estuary/mangrove-associated habitats. It is documented as poisonous to eat and is known to carry tetrodotoxin; toxicity can be particularly high in the skin and varies by locality. Handle with care (avoid contact with mucus, especially with cuts) and avoid mixing with aggressive/boisterous species.
