nice! we also have it here from where im at
 
I've got 5 with my violet goby and a dwarf gourami. Adorable little buggers, lol. I used to be a little disappointed at how empty the tank looks but if you sit and watch they are all quite comical. As soon as I know when I can upgrade that tank I think I'll get a bunch more of those guys. I was going to get some mollies or glassfish but I don't want them to have to compete with fast fish for food.
When I go to feed them the violet goby always comes out of his cave and sticks to the glass awaiting the first bite so all the bumblebees gather around him like a little swarm, I love 'em.
 
I had a breeding colony of 24 several years back. They were in a species-only 55 with lots of piled rock/rubble. I never saw any actual spawning or nests but, I've had fry swimming around many times. They fed on live and frozen (naupli, cyclops, etc). I kept live scuds in the tank which, I'm sure, juvies became additional food for the fish. Filtration was 2 40gal sponge filters (since I didn't want food and fry pulled from the tank). This was a comical tank to watch with they're propensity of hopping around. I especially like the dominant males displaying and bouncing to tell me my presence wasn't invited.
