Good afternoon all. I am relatively new, so I hope I am posting this in the right place. I've tried scouring the internet for any info of raising fry for this particular Goby, but come up with very little.
I have a 17 G cubical salt tank with Tiger Gobies, Sexy Shrimp, Pom Pom crabs, flower anemones and corals, and other invertebrates. Most of these critters have been in the tanks, especially the gobies, for a few months now.
Two days ago, I had little fry swimming around the tank, mainly up to the surface of the water, I've counted at least 8 on the first day, and 12 on the second day or so. I moved the fry into a breeders net clamped on the wall of the tank with a bottle cap, given how small they were, and fed them Roti feast twice a day from what I was recommended by my Aquarium store. I also turn off one of the power heads, and half closed another power head to have the water moving somewhat, it's grates are also guarded with mesh to prevent any of the fish going into the impellers by accident.
Unfortunately, I don't believe many, if any at all, survived in the breeders net from what I can visually see. I currently have one left swimming about that I can count, though I do not know if there are any more eggs within the live rock the father goby is guarding.
Has anyone had any experience raising fry of Tigrigobius macrodon? If so, what did you all try? Did you move them into a separate tank or did you leave them be. How often did you feed them. Any particular tips a newbie like me can learn?
(Sorry for the wall of text btw. I also posted this in the general thread, so I hope this doesn't come off as spam.)
