CRYPTOCENTRUS CINCTUS - YELLOW PRAWN-GOBY
The Yellow Prawn-Goby (Cryptocentrus cinctus) is a real asset for the marine water aquarium - both because of its bright yellow color as well as the unique behavior.
Yellow Prawn-Gobies live in symbiosis with pistol shrimps (mostly Alpheus bellulus) in which the Goby is allowed to live in the cave of the shrimp and the Goby warns the shrimp of dangers in return. For this reason a pistol shrimp should be present in the aquarium. Indeed it’s possible to keep the Goby without symbiotic partner, but it’s less close to nature and you also miss an exciting phenomenon.
In addition the tank should contain at least 300 litres and have a water temperature between 22 and 28°C. The Gobies eat both granular and flake food as well as frozen and live foods (e.g. Artemia). Moreover it’s recommended to keep them as pair.
Generally Cryptocentrus cinctus are easy-care and peaceful ornamental fish that are kind of shy and therefore should be kept with calm animals.

Alpheus randalli - Red Banded Pistol Shrimp
The Red Banded Pistol Shrimp (Alpheus randalli) is a beautiful snapping shrimp that's sure to catch your attention when it ventures from its burrow. It likes to move in together with a symbiotic goby, and such a symbiose pair is very entertaining to watch. Thanks to its small size it's very suitable for nano reefs and other small tanks. It will live together with most prawn gobies, for example the Hi Fin Red Banded Goby (Stonogobiops nematodes) or Amblyeleotris species.
