Hello. I was having a discussing early this morning with some friends at a local club and a question come out without clear answers.

how to sex Valenciennea and if male and female will they attack or harm each other ?

Gobiosoma oceanops i've read somewhere that can be sexed by the genital part of with some "papila" (don't really know what's this) being different from male to female, but i also read (don't remember exactly where) that gobiodon okinawe can change sex to suit the needs of a pair. I have in my reef two okinawes that don't really seem male and female, so i was wondering if it is possible that they will become a pair ?

For the G.oceanops, and other Gobiosoma if this statement is true i think it's a better away of achieving males and females than putting a bunch together. (here in Europe they are not very cheap)
