Yellow Rose Antenna Goby
Yellow Rose Antenna Goby, Stonogobiops nematodes, is a spectacular and peaceful aquarium addition that requires peaceful tankmates. Its deep purple and white striped body is striking enough. Add to that its barb-like antenna, its yellow snout, and its general hardiness, and the Yellow Rose Antenna Goby is a true gem. It has been suggested that part of its personality comes from its eyes and mouth, which seem somewhat oversized on its slim, trim body. Also known as the Blackray Shrimp Goby, and the Hi Fin Red Banded Goby this bright Goby is one of several Shrimp Gobies found in the oceans. If present, this fish will gladly share its sand bed burrow with a Pistol Shrimp Alpheus. Even when kept with a symbiotic Shrimp, it will typically do fine in pairs (when introduced simultaneously.) It will also build burrows in the absence of a Pistol Shrimp; helping to keep the sand bed well stirred. Because of its penchant for burrowing, the substrate provided should be fine sand.
Approximate Arrival Size for Yellow Rose Antenna Goby: 1" to 2.5"
