Another wonderful Goby to add to a peaceful reef environment. As typical with other small gobies, they will do best if a mated pair can be aquired. These will also form a sybionic relationship with a pistol shrimp. The shrimp will construct the burrow while the Gobies hover above the entrance looking out for danger and food. |

The Blackray Shrimp Goby (Stonogobiops nematodes) is sometimes called a Highfin Shrimp Goby or a High Fin Red Banded Goby. It belongs to the family named Gobiidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 2.2 inches in length, the Blackray Shrimp Goby is 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 lower tank area. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is good and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Stonogobiops nematodes should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, 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, a mixed substrate, and a peaceful environment.
