We have a pair of diamond gobies that we got as juveniles. They are breeding about every couple weeks. While the miracle of life is nice, they get extra territorial for about 6 days each time. The female keeps trying to pick fights with the blue jaw trigger and the sand piling gets a little extreme.
Is there any trick to slowing the frequency of their spawning? Our clownfish love the snacks (they chow down on the babies) so it's not all bad ... but launching a thousand or more baby gobies every 14 days is nuts. We have zero intention to raise these things bc it is incredibly time consuming, expensive, and likely to fail. Maybe light cycle timing could impact it?
