    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?

    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.

    I had a Diagonalis and a Tiger Pistol Shrimp at one point. Recently lost the Diagonalis, no idea what happened to it :(
