Spawning Gobys!

An awesome sight, just didn’t have my phone in time. Walked in on my WC Eretmodus Cyanostictus Msalaba “Yellow Bar Clown Goby” spawning! They’ve spawned before but I don’t think the male did a good job fertilizing the eggs. This time may be different. They seemed to be more in sync with each other. Time will tell. There’s no telling how many eggs she’s holding.

Excellent. Very interesting behavior they have isn't it? They are one of my favorite all time Cichlids. Not just African Cichlids either.

Now after 12 days, it seems as the female has past the brood to the male. He’s not chasing her anymore. She’s eating and he’s sifting small pieces of flake food.
Do I strip him or wait till he transfers back to the girl? They’re in a 125 with my group of Trews.
Thanks!

Not sure. I’m learning about these guys. All I can say is that I really enjoy them!

Awesome Stacy. Andrew has a lot of goby experience. You could txt him if you need faster input from an experienced keeper 👍

Stripped the male and got 7 wigglers. Very excited!

Once from female to male. Very nice fish to have.
