  • Awwwwesommmmme........

    while CF was doing water changes on the chimba tank i was standing there watching and observing all our kids...
    and you'll never guess what i saw.....i was so excited i had to ask CF if he saw it too....
    about a year ago i bought a bunch of baby gobies from tattoo....i was so scared when i saw them in that bucket they were so small....but i was determined to be a good fishy mom to them...so into the baby tank they went....and here it is now a year later and they are all grown up.....
    now, back to what we saw....)
    OUR GOBIES ARE MATING....
    we had the awesome pleasure of seeing this for the first time.....the female lays little eggs one at a time and the male picks them up..from what i have been told the male will hold them for the first week or two and then transfer them to the females mouth....i hope we get to see that happen....but i'm so excited that i got to witness our little kids ..trying to become parents for themselves....
    i know i'm being corny but they are such precious little life forms and i really love them alot....

It is one of the larger Gobies that occurs in Lake Tanganyika, at around 3 1/2 inches (9cm) in length, but it is […]


      It was cool to see the female drop the egg and the male come scoop it up....we saw a juvie red chimba scam on one though...kinda sad, but not much we could do....

      wish I could have gotten pictures, but I was wrapping up my water changes...
