When gobies form pairs, is there typically any aggression between the two, or are they more like best buds?

I thought I had a pair, but now the male is becoming aggressive towards the female, so I was just wondering whether or not this is typical pair behavior, or if I needed to add some more females to create a new pair.

Depends :lol: I know, just what you wanted to hear :lol:

Every pair acts a bit different. I would say add more to be safe though.

lol. Thanks Sarah! :lol:

Guess I'll get one or two more females. If a new pair forms, how much of a threat is the paired female to the unpaired females?

It's actually the pair that will gang up on any of the others. They will both attack the "extras".

Now keep in mind it is possible to have a trio. Doesn't happen often but it does happen.

Thankyou for the info

They are such a great fish, my male looks just like the guy at the top left of this webpage 8)

I actually have 1 male and 3 females in a 75 with a 48" footprint. They all get along with each other more or less and the male breeds with all 3 females, but refuses to do his share of the work

sounds great. I hope that turns out to be the case for me when I add two more females
