So our construction Gobies had babies, 2nd time. First time didnt turn out so well, all the fry were gone in a few days. This time we were able to scoop them out and isolate them. What shold i be doing or should I juts release them back into the tank and let nature take its course? Feeding suggestions?
 
uhmmm....
you obviously don't know much about breeding... I'd recommend getting a book like "the complete illustrated breeder's guide to marine aquarium fishes" by Matthew L. Wittenrich.

You properly won't have time to start phyto and rotifer cultures, set up a tank etc. So just wait for the next spawn. If you put them back in the tank your fish will eat them, or the will disappear in filters etc.

hth

If construction goby is synonymous with engineer goby than i wouldn't call it quits just yet;)

these fish are some of the easiest to rear, and sinse they breed once or twice a year, it would be unwise to not attempt to rear these, fore you will be waiting quite a while for the next batch.

Feed them BBS for now. i remember that i found info about them on mofib to make a reply to mary g on ircreefing, but that form was rebooted so i cant find y post, and mofib is acting up. however a quick search on mofib should yield you good results.

like i said, they are easy. they may even be easier than cardinals.
