Which Gobies do you have with a Pistol?

[Ricardo]

Hi All,

After purchasing my Pistol Shrimp from MT :D on saturday im now looking in to which goby to hopefully pair up with it.

Im thinking of a Yellow Watchman...but thought id ask which gobies you guys have with your pistol shrimp first?

Thanks.

I thought there was only a couple that actually paired up with shrimps? Randalls goby is one, not sure about the other.

I don't think yellow watchmans live with the shrimps?

sorry for being stupid but what are you talking about ?:confused:
pairing fish with shrimp ? :confused:

There's quite a few but they're not all certain to form a relationship with a shrimp. I like the red banded shrimp (Stonogobiops nematodes) and the yashia's (Stonogobiops yashia)..

yellow watchmans can live with shrimps but not commonly known to.

yep...with a pistol shrimp :D ;)
