Stonogobiops yasha, Yoshino & Shimada, 2001
Stonogobiops yasha is a very delicate and to some extent a rather shy goby.
This means, conversely, that you shouldn't really keep them well in large aquariums with fast and large fish.
They are otherwise hardly to be seen, hide themselves predominantly and come out really only times, if there is food.
Completely different in aquariums with delicate fish stocking, where they also dare more with time.
They must get relatively much to eat, (several times a day), a change to frozen food is also quite possible.
They are not very choosy about the food they are offered, so they will accept other types of food over time. If the goby is initially very shy, then the food can be placed in front of the cave with a pipette.
Are not very sensitive to diseases.
Should preferably be kept in small containers, because they get lost too quickly in a large tank.
Jumping guard
A jumping guard prevents (nocturnal) fish from jumping out.
Wrasses, blennies, hawkfishs and gobies jump out of an unprotected tank in fright if their night rest is disturbed, unfortunately these jumpers are found dried up in the morning on carpets, glass edges or later behind the tank.

A small night light also helps, as it provides the fish with a means of orientation in the dark!
Symbiosis:
It goes without saying that you also have to offer the goby a suitable cancer as a partner. In the case advises itself optimally the Alpheus randalli.
However, it is even much better to take directly two gobies and a crab, provided that you get them as a pair.
Sex and single, pair or group keeping.
Males have a dark spot in the pectoral fin area - see pictures.
According to a report at https://aquaticbyte.com/fish-that-can-change-gender/, Stonogobiops nematodes is described as living as a hermaphrodite and therefore restocking from a smaller animal may work.
In very large tanks with lots of open space, keeping them in groups is also possible.
Breeding information:.
The fish larvae hatch* after 6 days in the morning. The size of the larvae is about 2-3 mm.
Spawning tubes in diameter of 2.5 to 3 cm.
Culture container of about 40 to 50 liters - eg 40 cube.
clutch size** approx. 100 - 500 eggs
larval size after hatching 2 - 3 mm
after 6 days 4,5 - 5 mm
Metamorphosis after hatching between 30 and 50 days
* The water temperature influences the number of fertilized eggs and the spawning period (with a difference of e.g. 1° C, the difference can be ± 2-3 days) and, in the case of gonochoristic (separate-sex) fish or shrimp, the sex. If the temperature is below the usual regional temperature, mainly female larvae will hatch from the clutch, above this temperature mainly male larvae will hatch. Furthermore, the aquarium conditions (e.g. light duration, density) can also influence the sex.
** The spawning size or the number of larvae depends on several factors - age and condition of the parent animals, water conditions, food quality, stress factors and the dissolved oxygen content.
Raising food - copepod Parvocalanus sp. according to report or Parvocalanus crassirostris.

Godehard Kopp: My "highlight": Stonogobiops yasha. Are very rarely imported, m.M. a beautiful "delicate" goby (2-3cm). Live with me in a quiet extra tank. Would be in the big tank only under stress, and would hide in the reef. I know them from diving, incredibly shy, and occur partly at great depths (ca.40 m) !
