Pairing yasha gobys?

[Sitthanon]

Got a Yasha goby with a randall pistol shrimp. The yasha goby got a dark spot on its pelvic fin, can someone confirm that it's a male? or is there other ways to tell?

If anyone got experience with pairing Yasha gobys I would gladly take some advice

Yes. Dark spot is a male.

Yes. Dark spot is a male.

Are males more sought after??

not sure, but my 2 lfs had yasha goby come in recently and mostly are female. There is a few male but much smaller and weaker than the female.

DD has a bunch of captive bred female yasha's listed. None have the black spot so pretty sure that's the indicator. I do wonder what happened to all the males.

Introduced the female last week, she kicked the male out, stole his house AND shrimp. Chased him out when he tried to get back. One day later they bonded and are shareing the burrow

Question. What do you feed your yasha? And how do you feed them??

Frozen mysis, I just brodcast feed everything with it and the gobys will catch it when it floats by

That’s one sassy girl. In human terms..... can be quite sexy when done right.

Beside frozen mysid\s shrimp, yasha and other small goby (neon blue, Ranfordi, yellow clown goby) loves to eat live blackworm
