Trimma benjamini - ring eye goby

[najer]

Firstly my top tank volume is about 125 G 500 litres.
I am super careful with fish I add (generally, there have been a few hiccups!).
I have a super peaceful tank, I'm not really one for watching fish just swim about between feeds.

I picked 2 of these little "guys" up a couple of months ago, I sort of came up with a better direction for the tank!
Pic 1 is the first one just gone in, fish in pic 2 went in a few days later, admittedly a kind of an experiment though I was pretty confident nothing would bother them.
They are both around 3/4 of an inch or 20 mm long.
I was surprised how little information was available on google!

So, pic 2 is the second addition taken today, I'm pretty sure "she" is egg full!? ;)
Thoughts please? :)

Either that, or she's just _very_ well-fed!

Possibly, but I have found that "look" in marine fish is much more likely to be from overeating or an intestinal blockage than to be eggbound.

Thanks both, this was the other 1 about an hour later, it is quite plump!
what the heck do I give it as a laxative!? ;)

I wouldn't worry to much. Maybe feed smaller foods, such as a type of calanoid copepod, cyclops, or baby brine. To me it looks like they successfully tackled mysis.
