Taenioides cirratus is a species of worm goby native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean from islands offshore of eastern Africa to New Caledonia and from Japan to Australia. This species can be found in estuaries and coastal waters, preferring areas with mud substrates feeding on small crustaceans and other invertebrates. It is capable of surviving in air for a considerable period by sucking air into its bronchial chambers. This species can reach a total length of 30 cm (12 in) .^[2]

They are found in fresh, brackish, and salt water and the dispersion area is the Mae Klong River (Samut Songkram Province) and Thai Sea Boundary. In Thailand, this species is called plā k̄heụ̄x (ปลาเขือ) and is sometimes eaten.^[3]
