The first one died that night. No hatching the next day, but yesterday 3 more hatched, and they're all doing fine this morning. They're hopping around on their big eggs sacs, and chasing tiny critters I can see in there. I'm going to try alder cones and a little bit of salt next time there are eggs to hopefully get a higher hatch rate.
Rhinogobius Duospilus! Finally! Breeding attempt log.

I'd add a very thin layer of sand, just enough to cover the bottom. Seems like tiny fry do better with some sort of substrate than a bare glass bottom IME, though I don't know why.
That's one thing I'll consider next batch. Ricky (inka) does bare, so that's my starting point. I have 3 that hatched and survived more than a couple of hours. But those 3 are doing great. I'm going with alder cone and salt next time, i think.

Yep! I had a number of successful hatches, but only 5 survived past the first week. One of them escaped, so I'm sitting on 4 juvies at the moment from my last batch, and a pair from an earlier one.
I've been busy and haven't tried to breed lately, but I'm going to try again shortly.
