I recently picked up a trio of Catalina Gobies and placed in a 6g nano just for them, at 73°. Looking at the dorsal fin I see that I have one male and two females. I haven't read of successfully captive bred Catalina gobies, but would anyone have any clue what to look for in their behavior indicative of mating? Any nutrition to encourage this? Much thanks!

Some live food would probably help. They're hermaphrodites so breeding should be expected at some point. FWIW they prefer water a bit cooler, 60° - 70°, so 73 may be too warm for them long term. They'll need a cave to lay the eggs and the "male takes care of the eggs until they hatch.
