Description

The Flagtail Shrimp Goby (Amblyeleotris yanoi), also known as the Flagfin Shrimp Goby, is a peaceful marine fish known for its striking appearance and unique symbiotic relationship with pistol shrimp. This goby species exhibits beautiful colors, with a white body marked by brown and orange stripes and accented by vibrant yellow and blue on its fins, making it a captivating addition to reef aquariums.

Native to the sandy bottoms of the Indo-Pacific, the Flagtail Shrimp Goby thrives in aquariums with fine sand and plenty of hiding spots. Often found in the company of pistol shrimp, the goby acts as a lookout while the shrimp excavates and maintains a shared burrow. This fascinating relationship is a joy to observe, adding interest to any aquarium.

As a carnivore, the Flagtail Shrimp Goby requires a diet rich in meaty foods. It benefits from regular offerings of brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and finely chopped seafood. Feeding a variety of foods will help maintain its health and vibrant coloration.

The Flagtail Shrimp Goby is reef compatible, posing no threat to corals or invertebrates, and is well-suited for peaceful community tanks. A minimum tank size of 10 gallons is recommended to provide ample space and hiding spots for this engaging fish.
