there are 2 theories. some people think they came in ballast water tanks but some people think that it was brought here on purpose because the Round Goby eats the Zebra Mussel(another invasive specie) and the Zebra mussel was in the Great Lakes first so people think that someone brought them here to take care of the zebra mussel invasion but as it turns out, the Round Goby became invasive as well and sorta helped the "zebra mussel invasion".
Scientists believe that the round goby reached North America in the waters discharged by transoceanic ships.

Can you put fancy goldfish in a brackish aquarium with a dragon goby?
The dragon goby is semi-aggressive, but mainly feeds by sifting organisms out of the mud. In general, like most fish, they will eat anything that fits in its mouth. A fancy goldfish can reach 10"-12" and a dragon goby can reach 24". It would seem that once the goldfish reached a large enough size, it would be safe. I would not put a 2" goldfish with a 24" goby.
