    Default Pistol Shrimp

    Has anyone had any experience with Pistol Shrimp and are they safe with fish. I bought a Pink spotted Goby from Macca's and was thinking about pairing them up :hmmthink:

    Hi Hitesh, Pistol shrimps are ok with fish, but if you get one it might setup home at the back of the tank where you wont see it. There is no gaurantee it will setup at the front but if it does they are a facinating animal with the Gobie. HTH Twiggy:D:D

    cool, do you have a piece of pipe pushed into the sand for them all to live in, some say this helps? or did they just chose a good spot to live in?

    Ive had one for just over a year now and I see him quite regular at feeding times. I feed him with the tongs by placing food at the entrance to one of its caves. They will basically come out where ever you place the food.:D

    But you hear them more!
