If Challenging Existing Classification
Reasons Species Should be Reclassified:

If Requesting New Classification
Research or Links to information on Species:	I have found references of spawns but nothing further. I assume this species would be similar to Eviota sp. which have been bred successfully. http://www.marinebreeder.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=183&t=2889

Other Details
Other Information:	Suggested class B because I assume they are similar to other nano gobies. The eggs are extremely small and the larvae are tiny as well.

4/28/15 01:17 AM Do you have any other info? The issue is, some Gobies are C's, like Priolepis. So..could go either way...more info would be helpful

4/28/15 01:55 AM So far I have found nothing else online including scientific articles with any info. I can say though that the larvae are also very tiny and would not or could not eat the rotifers we supplied. We will have to get parvo to attempt raising them again. I will be creating a breeding journal soon and have pics of the eggs and one day old larvae. All larvae were lost by day 3, most by day 2. Due to this, I would say C but didn't want to get ahead of myself. I will continue to research it.
