Yasha Goby: Availability?

Aquius · Mar 8, 2018

No one seems to have them in stock right now... Anyone know where one might be available? I would like to pick up one and pair it with a Randall's Pistol Shrimp.

I am in the Cincinnati area, but am OK with ordering online as well...

It could be seasonal. I went through the same thing trying to find a Randall's Goby and I eventually got one at a local chain pet store for a bit more money than they normally would be but it was the only one I had seen in over 7 months. Just keep looking for them and eventually one will pop up.

They have been successfully bred in captivity so it shouldn’t be a question of supply. Check with Jeremy at Aquarium Artisans, I’m sure he can get you one. If not make the trip up to Columbus because there are 10 times more stores up there.

Thanks for the heads up. Aquarium Artisans and Discover aquatics are my local LFS(s).

I have gotten so used to ordering from Amazon (online in general) that I often forget to check with my LFS. I am new to the hobby and need to keep in mind how valuable a resource the LFS really can be...
