I have two gobies. one smaller and thinner than the other larger stockier one. The smaller of the two just 'crapped' out a whole pile of little white balls which floated around for a while then stuck to a rock, im 100% sure it isnt poo. in the 5 minutes the goby gave birth, they both ate the eggs. dammit.... couldnt get a photo... Is is unheard of from BB gobies to breed in the aquarium?? Would the eggs have been unfertilised and nothing to get excited about???

BBG usually lay eggs on the top of small caves. Did one of them turn really light coloured? The male's stripes usually go pretty much white when they're mating.

They have been bred in aquariums before, but not reliably.

EDIT: Does sound like a boy and girl to me. The boy (smaller) should change colour when breeding (based on my experience and everything I've read)
