Yellow Watchman Goby

Cryptocentrus cinctus The Yellow shrimp goby is also know as the yellow watchman goby. The head and body are yellow-orange with bright blue spots on the head and fins. They have been known to form symbiotic relationships with pistol shrimp. It requires a 10 gallon or larger aquarium with plenty of loose coral rubble, ample swimming room, and a sand bottom for burrowing. It rarely becomes aggressive towards other fish, but it is territorial, and will fight with its own kind unless they are a mated pair. It may try to jump out of the aquarium or other small openings, therefore, a tight-fitting lid is required to prevent escape. The yellow shrimp goby diet should include a variety of mysid shrimp, brine shrimp, table shrimp, and frozen preparations for carnivores. It should be fed at least twice per day
