Filament-finned Prawn-Goby: Your Shy Symbiotic Star

Introduce the enchanting Filament-finned Prawn-Goby to your marine aquarium. Known for its striking appearance and fascinating symbiotic relationship, this peaceful bottom-dweller adds unique charm.

Overview

The Filament-finned Prawn-Goby (*Stonogobiops nematodes*) is a visually appealing marine fish, showcasing a slender white body adorned with bold, diagonal black or reddish-brown bands and a distinctive yellow face. Its most notable feature is the elongated, filamentous dorsal fin, often held high. These captivating gobies are renowned for their mutualistic partnership with pistol shrimps, where the shrimp digs and maintains a shared burrow, and the goby acts as a watchful sentinel. They spend much of their time hovering near their sandy retreat, a truly engaging sight.

Care Level

This moderate care goby is shy but peaceful with calm tankmates. It can be territorial towards its own kind. Secure hiding spots and a deep, soft sand bed are crucial for its well-being and symbiotic burrowing.

Tank Essentials

A minimum 60-liter tank is recommended, ideally larger. Maintain pH 8.0-8.4 and 24-27°C. Crucially, provide a fine sand bed (5-6 cm deep) for burrowing. A tight-fitting lid is essential to prevent jumping.

Diet

A carnivore, feed this goby small, meaty frozen foods like Mysis shrimp and brine shrimp. They may also take quality pellets. Frequent small feedings are essential, especially during acclimation.
