A terrific addition to the community reef tank. These bright yellow little beauties do not grow very large at all. However, they will attack other shrimp gobies, unless a pair is acquired. Watch your ornamental shrimps too, as this one grows the smaller shrimps may disappear. |

The Yellow Watchman Goby (Cryptocentrus cinctus) is sometimes called a Yellow Shrimp Goby, a Watchman Yellow Goby, or a Watchman Yellow Prawn. It belongs to the family named Gobiidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 3.0 inches in length, the Yellow Watchman 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 unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Cryptocentrus cinctus should not be housed in a tank less than 20 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, a mixed substrate, and a deep substrate.
