Popped into a Pets at Home today whilst my 6yr old was having an eye-test in the hospital, they had some Pseudogastromyzon cheni in stock and whilst looking at them I spotted a contaminant, and after a brief conversation with a clueless member of staff I walked away with it for £1.49
I’m thinking that given it’s most likely from China then it’s possibly a Ctenogobius sp?
No takers?
I think I will tentatively go with Ctenogobius for now
There appears to be a few according to Fishbase, though of course there are no images for comparison

Fortunately the stock in this particular one was pretty good, don’t think I’ve even seen an instance of spot either, not that I’ve been in there that often. The member of staff I was dealing with was clearly not clued in about fish and her expression just went blank when I told her it was a goby

<p>The goby is also in good health and showing no signs of disease, it’s eating grindalworm and daphnia at the moment. </p>
