I am impatient

Well my impatience got the good of me and I was just wondering how long it usuallly takes for gobies to pair. I am guessing it varies from about 2 days to 2 years :lol: , but is there any set time at all?

Are yours all grown up or are they still juvenile? They looked on the small side in your pictures, but they could have simply been in a gigantic tank . (Love your pics of them, btw)

My understanding is that Gobies are slow growers compared to most cichlids (though not as slow as altolamps), but I could be mistaken on that point.

They are still juvies, probably only 1 1/2". So i guess I will have to wait quite a bit longer. Thanks for the compliment Rick.

P.S. i personally think you should go for the 40 breeder and get some gobies :lol:

Slow growers and also very aggressive to conspecifics and it's a hit and miss with them.

Yeah, they have been pretty nasty. So about what size should I expect pairs at?
