I am going to keep my water clean, I’m going to make a 3 gallon tank into a algae scrubber and I’m going to eventually make a 10 gal display refugium

From what I know saltwater goby keeping and breeding is waaaaaay easier then freshwater gobies. Almost all fw gobies need to have a marine stage and they require ridiculous flow and biofilm

Breeding takes a separate tank entirely for the fry and you need to also breed the stuff to feed the (roti's and greenwater for the roti's). It is a very costly endeavor.

I might get a Caribbean clingfish, they are easier than the urchin clingfish and I don’t think they are related

I had rainbows breeding and fry surviving in the same tank and rainbows are fry predators

Once again fresh and salt are incredibly different

again, these things are not at all equivalent. They arent born as fry they are eggs and then need rotifers when they hatch and would get sucked into a pump

beat me lol

But for gobies idk how they spawn, do they have maternal care?

Rainbows aren’t livebearers?

If I did breed them I’d put the fry in the phyto skimmer

There is a breeding site dedicated to salt water fish and if you look something up like green banded gobies you can see it is involved and these are considered and easier type.

Just looking what they were feeding: parvo copepods, S-type rots, L type rots, t-ISO (I am not sure what this one is?)...

Raising fry is very finicky and they need specific food (and a separate tank). Too many or too little foods or wrong size for larval stage and they die.

noah heres a really funny story:

@Bribo12 was actually THE person telling little 13 year old Dcal not to do stupid things on aquarium advice forum . I listened and it all turned out well

Than you need to research it and stop jumping all over the place. It's not something you're going to be able to do in a few weeks

Omg I need this in my life

When I was 14 I was glad to have a king snake lol. My dude here has some high expectations for a newbie reef owner

Oh ok. Wait they aren’t like fw and they just pop out as babies? They are at a planktonic level?

The lack of research is astounding
