Great looking clip, and the gobys seem to be happy there!

But how come no hillstream closeups?

This is very odd.... I've bred several goby species and this is not how the eggs are placed, they are always below a stone (or cave ceiling) so that the male can service them. The layout on your photos looks like what corydoras and some plecos do... do you have any in the tank?

First photo looks like snail eggs. My r. duospilus did lay eggs on the glass once. They were quickly eaten.

Wow! Beautiful tanks and fish! I currently have 1 gastromyzon punctulatus, 2 gastromyzon zebrinus and 2 gobies. They aren't in a hillstream tank but i try to replicate hillstream conditions the best I can!

Also can anyone ID my gobies please?http://imgur.com/WdPoBIP

Ps this isn't a thread hijack! :D
