I decided I needed these fish, so I bought 2. I am hoping they will spawn in short order. We shall see. They are in QT now.

How did you pick the pair? I haven't been able to identify differences between males and females.

There may not be any. I picked two that had been in the same cube in the store. One has since died, but I'll get another. I think I read that they can switch sexes back and forth, but don't hold me to it. i've been reading a lot about gobies, and it all swims in my head.

Both died. I did not ask enough questions before buying. Should have seen them eating first. Lesson learned the hard way.

This doesn't seem like a fish where "eating" is normally an issue....hrm....

Kathy, did they eat during quarantine, or did they cease eating when you put them in the tank? Did you give them live artemia during QT? If any planktivore like these don't eat live artemia, I'd say the problem was all in the collection and nothing to do with your tank. Although a "percher" like these shouldn't have needed collection with drugs.

They did seem to be eating, and there were lots of pods in the tank.
