Yes, I can't resist the pricing and that was why I took all of them (20 pcs) as I am epecting some casualities.

But so far they're doing well (knock on wood ) and swimming in the open already.

Nice meeting you at AquMarine yesterday ...

Ken,

White tiger goby can't tahan each other unless their are paired. So if you are placing them in your 6' tank w lots of LRs then they should be fine. Else, you will get high casualities for sure.

Currently, owns a pair of them. They had spawn for the 5th times already and I still haven't figure out how to rear them. The 6th batch is currently in progress.

Tips to lookout for paired white tiger goby.

1. Swims together, male have 2 destinitive spike on the dorsal fin while female is have rounded dorsal fin. (Naturally paired)

2. Observe that the male, if it raises his dorsal fin at the female that means they're not paired and the male is courting the female. Good chance of pairing if the female doesn't turn aggressive or swims away. (Tank paired)

Even though some species of gobies are known to be asexual, pls don't buy 2 male/ female and hope that it'll pair up. In the end, you might end up with 1 dead goby or 2 gobies leaving at different part of your tank. Or even worst, no gobies.
