They are the best! I had a few in the past and loved their goofy antics. I wanted to breed them but after the research... haha... seems impossible.

The rhinogobius you’ve shown can be bred in freshwater, they normally go to the ocean but in Hong Kong when they get trapped in reservoirs they can still bred. I used to catch them there

So observation on the Stiphodon gobies in particular for flow preference, I have kept a lot of the atropurpureus species (My Favorite) as well as semoni and ornatus and the tank setup that they seemed to be the most happy / active / visible in was a hybrid tank that had a fiberglass insert with a combination of shallow fast moving sections waterfalls and deep slow moving sections with high turnover, The gobis in this setup would always be out and exploring climbing all over the place and super active plus color up faster and vibrantly than standard tanks with a single water option (Fast or slow only) The insert was from a company called river tank systems that went out of business back in the late 90's early 2k's but would not be too difficult to reproduce with some DIY expanding foam and a little ingenuity or maby a shelf tank that has a shallow top section and a deep drop off etc.... But again having super fast shallows with rock bottoms and deep slow areas with sand those gobis behavior changed so dramatically and became super interactive and my all time favorite fish to keep.

Chlamydogobius eremius. Extremely hardy. Extremely easy to breed. Full of character. Disadvantage - short lifespan. So you have to breed them to maintain them. And one batch has something like 50 or more of fry. Fry are big enough to start in microworms and brine shrimp

These goby need salt water to breed?

@SteenfottAquatics 23 күн бұрын

Some gobies lay their eggs in rivers. That then get washed out to the sea and when they hatch they feed on micro organisms in the salt water. And as they grow they migrate back to freshwater.

@agnediciuniene9861 Жыл бұрын

@888fluffy 7 ай бұрын

Disagree. Unlike reef fish, which are often valued for their rarity, freshwater fish are less monetarily valuable, so it's about numbers. Fisherman have an incentive to manage their habitat in a way that generates large numbers of these fish. And but unlike fishing for food, pet trade fishing techniques need to be delicate because the fish need to survive. This also prevent destructive irresponsible overfishing. Pet trade fishing is almost entirely done by locals, proving income for peoples who can directly protect the habitat, instead of large fishing companies. Yes there are still ethical problems with taking fish form the wild (I absolutely disagree with collecting rare fish). But if you eat fish, that is much, much worse. Not to mention that the pet trade protects habitat that would otherwise be drained for farming.
