A beautiful and peaceful Goby. Provide a peaceful environment and a nice bed of substrate for it to burrow in. In looking for a pair, keep in mind that there are two color variations which is believed to be the indication of opposite sex. One coloration is an orangish yellow with blue spots and orange markings. The other is a more dull olive color with blue spots. |

The Blackfinned Shrimp Goby (Cryptocentrus pavoninoides) is sometimes called a Bluespotted Watchman Goby. It belongs to the family named Gobiidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 5.0 inches in length, the Blackfinned Shrimp Goby is generally passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the substrate. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Cryptocentrus pavoninoides should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places and a deep substrate.
