EGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGS! Pics will be very difficult to get until I remove the eggs, which I'm not planning on for a few days. They are a little bigger than the Desert Goby Eggs, and there are fewer. It's hard to see in there, but I'm guessing there are 10-15. He ended up using a long, capped at the end, 3/4" diameter piece of PVC pipe. So here's the interesting thing: BOTH pregnant females were back in his cave with him last night. The egg-layer is out this AM, but the pregnant one is still in there with him. He doesn't seem concerned about it, so I'm not going to remove her just yet. We'll see if that's wise.

I got a better look this afternoon. I do not have two clutches. Not yet, anyway. What I thought was the second clutch last night was actually the second female's tail fin, I think. She's still in there with him, so we'll see if he gets a second clutch after all. She is leaving the eggs totally alone, and he's perfectly happy having her in the cave with him. It's all very interesting.
