Treat all fishes equally.

Of course the opinion of sadism is worth considering.

Yes they are predators but to a certain point. The Gobies have also helped our fisheries by providing an abundance of food for bigger fish, especially Largemouth Bass.

There was a study that was conducted and it proved that since Gobies have been introduced the average size of Largemouth Bass reached close to 5 pounds.... That's a big Bass.

Yes the Gobies eat the eggs of fish and put a damper on the reproduction but not enough to treat it like an epidemic and the Gobies have not all been a bad thing.
