Orange spotted goby (Amblyeleotris guttata) breeding

[SueQ]

Hi! Has anyone here tried breeding them? How do you tell the males vs. females? Any special markings??

 

[clownfish75]

no info for you on that species, but there is a fair bit of info on breeding cryptocentrus cinctus, and i did a thread on a breeding log of amblygobius phaleana once.

Good luck

Christian

I found myself that the male has a more aggressive coloration when adult, with some dots on the tail of a pure red instead of orange, a black throat lined with blue dots. This is not showing in the adult female.

I might be wrong in my observations, based on having two large specimens for more than a year in two separate tanks. I've lost the female, but the male is still with me.
