    Talking my tangan gobies are spawning!!!

    theyve been doing this spinning "T-motion" before but today is the first time i saw her dropping eggs hopefully all goes well its been going on for at least 10 minutes now.
    im wondering if anyone has bred these before? ive heard 2 different things one said they are bi-parental and the female holds for 12 days then the male for 12, another said that theyre are maternal mouthbrooders.. i guess i'll find out in 2 weeks, il post a video after its done uploading.

    the species is: Eretmodus cyanostictus Makobola Blue Throat

    here are pics of the parents:

    They are fairly easy to breed. I believe Ioan as well as Rod in the island used to have a tank full of the babies...
