beautiful. i would like a video. are they active at all?
M purple spots are very active swimming and fighting all day long. My bigmouth sleepers are more active than any of my other large sleeper species i love those things.

Have you ever raised any fry successfully? This is only the second time mine have bred first was last week but the eggs got fungus and male abandon them 3rd day in. I really like gobies I have like 8 species and im always looking for more.

Nice collection only 3 are sleepers(peacock,purple spot gudgeons and the fat sleeper) the rest are true gobies. I have a couple true gobies (dragonfish/bumble bee goby). I have raised the fry on first bite powder fry food or liquid fry food. the fry are smaller than my cichlid fry but larger than my Marbled goby fry lol. I can keep the fry with the parents if they parents and fry are feed heavy amounts of food. If not mine always eat the fry.

My second spawn already has a few eggs turning white. Is this fungus? Have you had this problem ? Or could it be they aren't old enough? I've only had them about 9 months and I know they were young when I got them caz they were only about 3”.
