[tropicana]

I have a few peppermint shrimp. Im looking for a small goby for my 2.5g. Im willing to give up a few for him. Let me know what you have! I really want a Yasahashi Goby....

I am in Canyon Lake close to San Antonio...

Do you know if they are rathbunae or wurdemanni?

Where are you located? I don't have the goby you're looking for but maybe I can buy the shrimp and you can buy the goby.

I think they are "Lysmata wurdemanni" as I caught some a while back in Port A, they bred in the sump. Any of them in the Gulf and at the Jettis are considered as "Lysmata wurdemanni." Which from my understanding are "True Peppermint Shrimp."

These guys are great. I put 13 in my aiptasia infested 40 gal around July 6. By July 14 I could hardly find any aiptasia.

I'm sure they're Lysmata wurdemanni. I think rathbunae are the ones with the darker tail that you usually see at the LFS. These guys have a tail that is the same color as the rest of their body.

Well I did buy a Yashe Hashe goby. But unfortunately he did not make it. He was a new shipment and Ive heard that they can be a little harder to keep especially in a smaller tank. He was swimming fine, and the next morning I woke up it was just a head and bones, I think the peppermints and Hermits ate him, but after he had already died. Not sure the cause yet....

Ouch. Sorry to hear that.
