well it had to happen sooner or later my 3 bar gobies decided
to pair up and make woopie

now what do i have to do???:frustrat:

Awesome :D Well, it's pretty much free fish food. Raising fry is very costly from what I've read. Unless you have something set up already, I doubt this first batch will make it in there. I don't know how often they mate. I'm sure there'll be more.

How cool! Not likely the babies will make it, but having any spawning in your tank is super awesome!

Pretty hard to raise fry even for easy species (and I don't think this is an easy species). But I'd strongly encourage you to check out the Marine Breeding Initiative Site (MBI - Marine Breeding Initiative) and report the spawn. I'm not sure exactly which species you have, but if its a zebra barred goby (often classified as a dartfish), then I wasn't able to find much info on prior spawns let alone hatching, etc. In fact, I couldn't even determine from fishbase whether the species indeed lays nests, so any info you can contribute to the aquaculture field from what is happening in your tank is helpful :)

I think it's really cool! I've not had any spawning of any kind in my tank.
