Etymology: Chlamydogobius: Greek, chlamys, -idos = cloak, cape + Latin, gobius = gudgeon (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Dr Charles John Melville Glover (1935–1992) was ichthyologist at the South Australian Museum, Adelaide (1964–1991) and was Curator of Fishes (1967–1991). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Inhabits shallow water at the edges of warm, spring-fed pools and outflow swamps. It has a broad temperature tolerance (21.6°-43°C), but usually does not venture into water above 36°C. Diurnally active, omnivorous species which feeds on filamentous algae. Also cannibalistic, with adults feeding on young fish. Breeding biology is probably similar to C. eremius, a species formerly considered to be conspecific (Ref. 44894).

50 = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00353 - 0.02836), b=3.08 (2.84 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±0.49 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref.
