Right. I didn't think it was -that- hard to find information about the Violet Goby! I bought mine for $6 [and it's around 6-8 inches long at this point] at my...
Is there anyone in this forum that would be knowledgeable about newly discovered South American Gobies. I have what may be an undescribed species. This one...
Hello Ed, I think your goby is a Sicydium species. They are indeed swift water fishes, and, like the cichlids you mentioned, herbivores. Cheers, Naomi ... ...
Hi Dana, Violet gobies can tolerate fresh or fully marine water. In my experience, they do best long term in water that is about 1/3 strength seawater (s.g....
Hi Dana Dragon gobies can be very temperamental, they do appreciate a lot of hiding spaces. A good food for them and other difficult fish is bloodworm (frozen...
Hello Everyone I have a pair of yellow headed sleeper gobies who are going through a weird mating ritual (am refering to previous emails) but still are mating...
Alice, can you move that rock, and look underneath? If the rock is not very large and you can see the egg clusters, you can move it to another tank together...
The rock is huge and it has an anenome on top of it which would be very hard to remove. And I don't want to destroy their home! Why should I remove the rock...
Ok Alice, 1. If rock is huge there is no way to see the eggs. 2. Egss are not in sand, eggs are stuck to a solid surface (rock, shell, etc). 3. Male guards...
I have a pair of valenciennea strigata. No I can't see the eggs but I was wondering if there are some eggs how likely are they going to hatch in captivity ?...
Alice Foord <amfoord@...> wrote: I have a pair of valenciennea strigata. Ok, there are so many confusing popular names! The bottom line Alice is that...
thanks so much. We don't have another tank to raise the larvae , it's too bad. It's sad to know my fish are spending something that is not there! Alice ...
Hello all, I just signed up for this group, and it looks interesting! I am not only a new member, but also new at goby-ownership. I have a 2 1/2inch Violet...
Well after 1.5 years of trying to spawn my bumble bees, they FINALLY did it! Yipee. Strange though- the biggest dominant female with the puny, meekest male. ...
The eggs are attached to the top of the shell like grapes. If you moved the shell and the eggs went all over then those eggs were dead and/or infertile. What I...
Since the females were able to get through the sides of the tank divider, I removed them. He is alone with the "eggs". I never did see any attached to the top...
Gotta love having a microscope.... (I have beencalled Frankenwind on other clubs!) I put some of those loose eggs under the microscope yesterday, and I thought...
Bear with me.... I have been trying to spawn bumblebees for a year and a half! I have one fry from a few days ago! He ate the eggs/fry (they were viable). ...
Hello Michelle, Usually male bumblebees will take good care of the eggs, but will eventually eat the fry after they hatch. They are free swimming and take no...
He ate them after 3 days of babysitting them. However, the eggs could have been older than I realized as they were hatching at that time. I moved him out of...
I did take Mr Bumblebee's eggs away from him and it appears that I will have a 100% hatch rate. So far 1 egg fungused and the remainder all have two visible...

Can anyone help me out? I work in a pet store and we got in 6 Redigobius Balteatus. One I bought, and am keeping in a brackish tank. Brackish by way of 'Doc ...
Hello Static having worked in a Petsmart years ago, I feel for you. Seeing unique fish come in and knowing if you don't save them, they are slated for death......
Hallo, staticpulse I live in Iriomote Island, southern Japan. I find many Redigobius bikolanus, and sometimes R. balteatus in the river near my house. The fish...
Hello Staticpulse, Redigobius should be kept in mild brackish water, as Yuikebe recommends. I would use sea salt (such as Instant Ocean) as it contains trace...
