Description

Stonogobiops yasha Gobies are a fantastic choice for reef aquariums, with their small adult sizes, vibrant personalities and unique and colorful appearance. Measuring around 2 inches as adults, these gobies are perfect for smaller aquariums. Yasha Gobies are red with white broken striped bodies, a large dorsal fin, black patch under their jaw and a bright yellow dorsal, anal and caudal fins enhancing the visual appeal of any aquarium. In their natural habitat in the Western Pacific Ocean, Yasha Gobies are commonly found hiding in sandy caves under overhangs at depths of up to 40 meters.

They will require an aquarium with a tight fitting lid as they are known for jumping.
