    Is the male in a neon goby pair the bigger fish or the smaller fish? I assumed in all pairs the male was the biggest, except for in clownfish.

    However, the bigger one looks pregnant! So I wasn't sure....

    Haha thanks guys. I assumed the male was the bigger one. But the smaller one is much more outgoing, swimming all over, the bigger one seems more shy and has a huuuuuge belly.

    So I'm very curious! I wonder if I'm going to have babies....
