Description

The Flagtail Prawn Goby (Amblyeleotris yanoi) is a delightful and peaceful addition to any saltwater aquarium. Known for its unique white body adorned with distinct brown bands, this goby is a favorite among aquarists for its striking appearance and symbiotic behavior with pistol shrimp.

Native to sandy substrates in the Indo-Pacific region, the Flagtail Prawn Goby thrives in aquariums with fine sand and ample hiding places. This species is often found living in burrows created by pistol shrimp, forming a fascinating relationship where the goby stands guard while the shrimp digs.

As a carnivore, the Flagtail Prawn Goby requires a diet rich in high-quality meaty foods. Ideal offerings include brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and finely chopped seafood. Regular feeding supports its health and vibrant coloration.

The Flagtail Prawn Goby is reef compatible and poses no threat to corals or invertebrates, making it an excellent choice for reef aquariums. Its peaceful nature and small size make it suitable for community tanks, and a minimum tank size of 10 gallons is recommended.
