At work we have a few pairs of breeding morgunda gobies. I will soon have an empty 29 gallon tank and wanted to put a pair in their. I know the father is a good parent not too sure of mom. I want to know if I can breed and raise the gobies in the 29 without taking any fish out. I have a 38 with only 3 fish in it that I could probably throw the mom in their after the eggs have been layed. Anyone have any experiance with breeding these guys?
 
I cant answer for yet because I'm not sure but I think what you have is not actually a goby,but a gudgeon: http://www.nativefish.asn.au/northernpsgudgeon.html

"Gudgeon" is the Australian common name for gobies. Mogurnda mogurnda is technically a "sleeper goby" (family Eleotridae). Sleeper gobies (family Eleotridae) differ from "true" gobies (family Gobiidae) by having split pelvic fins instead of the fused pelvic fin/disc that true gobies have.

I had a pair of Mogurnda mogurnda that readily laid eggs in my 80 gallon community tank. However, I never had a chance to raise fry because tankmates always ate the eggs. :(
