Matt... Are you breeding neon gobies?

[llpoolej]

I swear I thought I heard you say you were. But, it may just be something I made up in my head!!!

Come on Matt...you know you want to!

Yes, they were/are breeding, but I haven't been too successful getting the larvae to survive past 2 weeks or so. I haven't tried in several months, but as soon as I get more space, I'm going to try again. I've got some ideas, but one of them was that the pair was too young, so now that they are older, perhaps they will produce healthier eggs.

I have time, I am going to wait on you getting them going and buy some from you

Good luck on getting succesful spawing/rearing

Wow, what faith you have--I better try again soon then! They just spawned again this afternoon, so I'll see if I can't free-up a larval tank. The good news is that the babies would be ready to go to new homes in only a couple of months if I ever figure out how to help them live that long...

I think the gold-striped neons are spawning too, but I can't see into their tank very well (Julie, I ended up using that cloudy 20L for broodstock!), so I can't find the nests! I've got a pair of percs spawning in there too, but I can see their eggs if I look from the top.

These are one of my favorite fish believe it or not. I am not in a rush as I am really wanting some fairy wrasses.

I'm in too! those are great fish.

I think we all know I am totally in as well. I love these little guys and would be willing to donate a 10g tank to the cause.
