The increase of the western tubenose goby population in the Border Meuse is likely to increase competition with the bullhead as they share the same ecological niche.

Tubenose goby association with rocky substrates (Ero¨s et al. 2005; French and Jude 2001; Jude and DeBoe 1996) and vegetation creates the potential for
competition for space with rainbow darters.

There also is potential for competition between tubenose gobies and johnny darters Etheostoma nigrum for spawning sites. Both species spawn on the underside of fixed objects such as rocks (Balon 1975; Jude et al. 1995). Tubenose gobies are similar in total length to johnny darters, but johnny darters are more slender and smaller in overall body size, which may provide a competitive advantage to tubenose gobies. Habitat overlap for these two species is possible in nearshore areas of Lake Erie near river outflows where rainbow darters occur (e.g., in several tributaries to Lake Erie).

Low: Species not spreading rapidly.
They do not feed on zebra mussels like round gobies do and are also
smaller and less aggressive than round gobies, so some experts expect
their impacts to be low.

Tubenose gobies appeared to be more cryptic than the other benthic
fish species, round goby, mottled sculpin (Cottus bairdi), logperch (Percina caprodes), and rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum), with which they shared the aquarium. Tubenose gobies were not nearly as aggressive as these species at attacking food items introduced into the aquarium.

Two out of four invasive gobiids (Neogobius kessleri and Proterorhinus semilunaris) appeared to be competitive for shelter and are suggested to be competitively superior when this resource is limiting. The bullhead Cottus perifretum was especially vulnerable to this
competition.

tubenose did not outcompete bullhead from the shelter, but
their influence on the shelter occupancy by the resident
bullhead was the same as that of intruding bullhead.
Independently of the intruding species, resident bullhead
increased shelter occupancy at night in spring
compared to the situation when it was alone, but this
‘intruder effect’ was not observed in autumn.

Results suggest a low dietary breadth that overlaps with tadpole madtom (Noturus gyrinus); The high

Slimy sculpin (Cottus cognatus), spoonhead sculpin (C. ricei),
logperch, Johnny darter, bullheads (Ictalurus spp.) and channel catfish (I. puncatus) are other native benthic species in the St. Louis River estuary. but their lack of detection
in this study suggests that this threat may be reduced in the St. Louis River due to different habitat preferences or life history strategies.

In all lakes, the trophic niches of gobies (Neogobius fluviatilis and Proterorhinus semilunaris) were never significantly larger than those of coexisting fishes. These results suggest that when introduced outside of their natural range, the gobies might integrate into new fish communities via exploiting resources that are underexploited by native fishes or will initially share resources with these species before their niches diverge, perhaps through competitive displacement.

The invasion of tubenose goby (Proterorhinus semilunaris) has led to competition for shoreline habitat with native benthic fish in the River Danube, Slovakia. Native bullhead (Cottus gobio), white-finned gudgeon (Gobio albipinnatus), and stone loach (Barbatula barbatula) populations have declined.

Competition experiments revealed that the bullhead (Cottus perifretum) significantly altered habitat choice in the presence of the tubenose goby (Proterorhinus semilunaris). Bullhead was outcompeted and moved to less preferred habitat types. The same experiment with stone loach (Barbatula barbatula) showed no alteration in habitat choice in the presence of tubenose goby. Specimens sourced from Western European rivers.
