Only about 20 gobies survived being transferred to a grow out tank. I don't know what happened, but they started dieing in ones and twos. Then I had a massive nest hatch and survive, and there is the result. https://youtu.be/y3z6P6HxFeQ I got a new GoPro camera that works underwater, put a 10x lens on it, attached it to a pole of PVC, and lowered it, nervously, into the tank. This is going to be a lot of fun. My pictures of fish in a bRT will never be the same!

I picked up a few of these guys a couple of weeks ago. Two of them stay together all the time. Should i remove the third one? It is quite smaller than the other two.

I don't know. I've had them spawn with other gobies in the tank, but I've had them disappear, too. If it were me, I would find another one for the third wheel and put them in a separate tank.

Love that up underwater video! And I like the algae on the sides of the tub. Has to be some good pod growth in there.

thanks, I'm pretty happy with the camera and the gobies. Of course I don't know for sure, but I'm thinking the lush algae growth has contributed to the success of the run. It started out as a lawn, and turned into shrubbery! These youngsters were fed lightly 8-9 times around the clock, because the lights are on 24/7. Auto feeder. That many gobies and that much food makes for a lot of poo. I know the euterpina is at home on the floor of the tub, in the poo and leftover food, and is thriving there. There may be some copepods in the algae on the walls, I'll check this weekend. But algae that lush needs to eat as well. There is no ammonia, and no significant nitrates, and the pH is fine in that small volume of water with possibly 100 young gobies eating constantly. Something is making those pollutants go away, quite effectively. I only do water changes sometimes, and haven't scraped the bottom in 3 weeks….Algae on 24/7 lighting will also provide some oxygen to the tub, and that can't be bad for the little fish. Microscopic and macroscopic life are good things, even when they make the water thick as in that video!

I've been moving them to a grow out tank, just a few at a time. I've moved 36 as of this evening, and the tub population appears undiminished. Anyone ever see an albino neon goby? I have a couple of large juveniles that seem to have no black pigment, just the blue stripe. If I can catch one, I'll get a picture.

My neon gobies lay every 17 days and the water is 80-81.

Wonder if that is the equivalent of a misbar clown?

Hi Kathy, Did any of the albino babies make it?

Actually, I think I was mistaken about that. As I was moving them to grow out, a lot of them blanched--lost their body color, but it was just temporary. Probably it was from stress.

I´d be very surprised to see an albino mutation showing up.See that it took 40 years of massive breeding before albino clowns were finally produced. -

They are all huge adults. I've sold some, but have about 60 left. Anyone want some?

I am thrilled to hear it! kathysclowns@sbcglobal.net Let me know your shipping address and how many you want. I know how to ship, but we should get it done soon before the weather gets really cold.

They are very cheap, though, so when I see some, I get a couple. I know you can get them from Tuff Stuff, and at most horse and tackle or farm supply stores.
