Judging by that picture and your description, goby would be my guess as 
well. Anatomically, gobies lack swim bladders (the organ responsible for 
changing a fishes buoyancy) and when they swim they look like they are 
hopping through the water.

Perhaps it is a Hong Kong goby?

If so, enjoy your new pet... I have one and he is a great fish, lively, 
bold, and having a unique personality.
