c est ma Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 Liveaquaria.com has them. Yes, just don't believe everything they say about them! (Their gbg picture is awful, too.) Another big spawn today. Some short videos: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2397920369898070164 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5328035117467860679 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8165484443747198162 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3009767785584151158 And some stills: --Diane Link to comment
c est ma Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 What do you do with the fry? Basically...enjoy them while they last...sigh. If you look at some of the earlier posts or links you will discover how difficult it is to raise these tiny tiny fry. It involves culturing rotifers, and algae to feed the rotifers... As I've mentioned more than once, anyone w/in driving distance who'd like to try raising these guys is more than welcome to the next batches! --Diane Link to comment
c est ma Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 OK, some totally crappy vids (I'm sorry! I'm sorry!) that I will have to narrate--basically, they show the male goby "spitting out" his larvae. I had heard that this is how the brood is released, but this past Saturday was the first time I witnessed it. I only got in on the tail end of the phenomenon, and I grabbed my camera and began shooting. Hopefully I'll get a better opportunity to take better vids with some future spawn... Anyway, in this first vid, about 4 seconds in, you can see the fish sort of "hiccup," and a white blur (larva) emerge: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2407019346088025268 This vid is even worse (how is that possible?), but at about 10 seconds in, and a little thereafter, you can see two "hiccups." (Look for the male goby's red eye-stripe in the lower-middle of the frame) (In this vid, the white blobs floating around are the already-released larvae): http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1721361933516555994 --Diane Link to comment
