lakshwadeep Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 I have just seen one of the most beautiful gobies. THere are many names: yasha hashe, Stonogobiops yasha (cinctus), Cryptocentrus cinctus, blue-spotted yellow watchman goby. There is not a lot of help or care about this species. Thanks for any help.

supernip Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 That is a yashia haze goby. There isnt much info on them and not scientific name because they are new. I have had one and they are damn expensive. 60 dollars for a 2.5 inch goby but they are extremely smart and active for gobies. I will soon order another pair with some randall's anapping shrimps. This link is actually pretty good for background info http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/dec...ec2002/Fish.htm but if you need more help, please send me an email at my nano-reef screen name at aol.com. I would love to talk to someone with interest in these beautiful fishes. Link to comment
Paulb Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Luv these gobies !! Who has one ??? Link to comment
Sinistard Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 I have one, very cool fish. here is a video of mine http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread...&threadid=53504 Any quesions for me let me know I'll do my best to answer them. Link to comment
reefsrule Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 One thing you should know about them though, they jump :*( Link to comment
superman Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 oh yeah do they jump. mine jumped out of the tub-a-ware container 3 times while it was acclimating. i was scared because i didn't think he was going to make it, but monthes later i catch him swimming around my tank and then darts into his tunnel. mine only eats brine and mysis shrimp. i love these little fish. i regret not buying the pair, the lfs had 2 in a container floating in a tank and i only got 1 because $30 for a fish is a lot. i went back the next week to get the other one, but it was gone. well that about sums up my life story.

rbaby Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Thanks reefs--does it matter which you add first? Is there a place where I can order the shrimp AND this goby somewhere instead of ordering from 2 different places and paying 2 separate shipping? Thanks. Link to comment
reefsrule Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 well I added my shrimp after I added the fish, but I bet it wouldn't matter with the order, they just need to find each other. Marine depot may have the goby too, it says you need to confirm if they are availible. Link to comment
Paulb Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 30.00 isn't bad for a yasha atlantis has them for 60 ea 120 pair add 20 for a shrimp http://www.atlantisaquarium.net/fish.html Marine Depot has one for 49.00 and they may be able to get a Randalls Shrimp http://store.yahoo.com/marinedepotlive/493974.html the marine center has a shrimp goby pair listed for 69.00 http://www.themarinecenter.com/specials/index.htm have heard good things about atlantis and marine depot.

Web Guy Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 My Yasa Hashe just dissapered. I introduced a mini purple reef lobster and he wen't back where the goby was. So when I woke up and turned the lights on the goby was in the front. Well he went into a small hole in a rock that I guess had some kind of tunnle in it. Well I have not seen him now in 2 days and I am starting to get worried he got stuck or something. Man, I hope not! But if that happened even worse he has to set in there and die in my tank. Will keep and eye out and hope for the best. I looked in there with a flash light today trying to find him. This sucks!! And about the spike fin goby. I have one on order now! Online there like $150 shipped. Link to comment
embryoguy Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 rbaby, i would recommend getting an existing pair. ive heard people have luck or no luck pairing them up when getting them separetly. i was able to get a pair from thatpetplace.com for $20. i initially fed mine frozen foods but now have acclimated him to formula 1 pellets. less polution and controlled feeding. i have a hi fin goby paired with a randal pistol. but i never see the shrimp eat. does anyone know if the goby acutally reeds the shrimp? the goby gets alot of food. does he regurtiate it for the shrimp? ive had them for about 4 months now and shrimp is doing well , despite never seeing it get any food.

Tigahboy Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 the goby should do fine even w/o the shrimp. same w/ the shrimp and no gobie. Link to comment
Web Guy Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 My Goby came back out... He is not DEAD!...Yeah. First time I have seen him since I put in my mini purple reef lobster. He was hiding in a rock. Link to comment
lgreen Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 mini puprle reef lobster? and a yasha hashe? i hope that works out well for you. Link to comment
Web Guy Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 He is one small mini lobster, any smaller and I would have eggs. I know I will have to get rid of him later when he gets bigger but I have not heard many bad things about them at this size. The odds of him eating one of my fish are pretty small even as he gets a little larger. I just have to do some spot feeding for him to keep him happy. I also have a emerald crab and people have seem this do bad stuff but it's all about the odds. There not like ravage killers...lol General Info: Purple Reef Lobsters spend Daylight hours under rocky cover. They are primarily scavengers but may be harmful to small fish if not fed properly. Their bright purple and orange bodies are edged in thick, bristly hairs. These lobsters stay rather small and are safe for reef aquariums. Food : meaty foods such as krill, shrimp, or shrimp pellets Link to comment
