fishiness,

All the literature says that unmated neon gobies will constantly harass one another, even in tanks as large as 100g. I haven't tried it myself because the experts are very clear that it doesn't work.

Hi,

Nice link, but dont be getting ideas of replicating the 5000g system!! Lol

Keep reading, and keep going back to ediaz link, thats a really good one.
I have a pair of Neon gobies that i am sure are spawning, but never seen a nest in the 55g tank. They are displaying simular behaviour to my spawning dottybacks (P.fridmani) darting in and out of a rockpile.

I plan on setting up a simple, small tank and have these as my next breeding project, so keep sharing.

If i were you, and you are serious about having a go. Then have a go at running a few cultures, you can always feed them to your tank. Though in order to feed any larvae, you have to be able to raise some food. This takes up quite a bit of tank space on its own! (though can be done in confinds).

Good luck, keep posting any progress and keep sharing links.
Mark
