I have (i'm fairly certain) a female red lipstick goby, and today I'm picking up a male of the same. I have a 55g that has a few live plants, and plenty of biofilm everywhere.
I'd like to breed these guys and I know that their fry usually go from freshwater, to brackish, to salt, then finally back to freshwater. I am a novice but want to give it a try and think, fail or not, it would be fun to try. However, both Google and YouTube have no results when I mix keywords (red lipped, red lipstick, scientific name, breeding freshwater gobies, etc) and I definitely need guidance on this. Anyone have any ideas, experiences, book recommendations, podcasts, videos? Maybe guidelines for breeding similar species?
Also, off topic, but I've heard that ghost shrimp and amano shrimp are bred the same way, would the fry and shrimplets survive in the same conditions? If I tandem bred amano and gobies that would be interesting to try. I already have neocaridina and caridina in the big tank though.
