wiLL Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I was just wondering if anyone here has bred these little guys and would have any information to pass on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I had a tank of Bumblebees for quite a while at my children's request but couldn't get them to breed. Have a read of the following article it may help. Bumblebee Goby Gerard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
23Skidoo Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I think they like brackish, and would need it to breed. I've had a few little ones, but didn't manage to get them to grow out, as i didn't have enough live food for them, i'd say infusoria would be your best bet as a fry food. The males have a bright yellow band on the head (or at the base of the head) whereas females are a little duller and won't be quite as boofy in the head department, if you already have them it's cool, but when i buy 'em i try for a mix of body sizes and colourations, to guarantee males and females, the more the better, and when you see the males posturing and 'fighting' it' a good sign you may have eggs. I don't know too much though, i've always wanted to breed these guys but haven't had a huge deal of success. I thikn tiny first food is the key, and plenty of it. They are one of my all time favourite fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiLL Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 yeah.. they are just very different to every other fish got a spare 2ft tank so i was thinking of breeding something new does it really make much of a difference feeding them live food compared with feeding them frozen baby brine/daphnia?

23Skidoo Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I've had 'em on a number of occasions and can remember only once when ever one would freely take live food, often a couple would but others would waste away, not eating flake at all. But it seems to be part of keeping them, they go nuts for mosquito larvae! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
