Description
The yellow rose goby--also known as the hi-fin red banded goby, the striped goby, the black-rayed shrimp goby and the filament-finned prawn-goby--is a strikingly attractive, small (to two and one-half inches in length) fish that will readily form a symbiotic relationship with pistol shrimp from the genus Alpheus.

The common name yellow rose goby is probably the result of a misprint, as yellow NOSE goby makes a lot more sense given the distinctive bright yellow coloration that extends from the top of the head to the chin. This small fish originates from the Indo-West Pacific from the Seychelles and the Philippines through Bali and Indonesia and is the hardiest of the hi-fin gobies. It appreciates a peaceful community tank, and they make fantastic reef inhabitants. Because they will dig a burrow, make sure the tank has a sandbed. Plan to keep only one per tank unless the tank is very large or you can obtain a mated pair. Successful spawnings are quite possible in the aquarium. Interestingly enough, there are reports of the yellow rose goby sharing its burrow with other species of shrimp gobies.

Diet
The yellow rose shrimp goby will appreciate a diet of meaty bits of seafood including small pieces of raw table shrimp, clam, squid, and other readily available foods. If other aggressive feeders are present, be sure to target feed the goby at least twice a day for optimal health.
