    Default Which Shrimp for Goby?

    I have a pink spotted watchman goby and have heard they can form a relationship with a blind shrimp? Is the correct and which shrimp is needed?

    Hi,

    James is your man for that but it's going to be one of the Alpheus spieces.

    Personally I like the Tiger Pistols (Alpheus bellulus)

    Hi Tom, I think that's what he means. Alpheus shrimp are either blind or have very very poor eyesight.

    You are welcome James.

    Any news on the Ornate Angels, (Genicanthus Bellus) ? I just need some idea of what kind of price I am looking at for two juvenile females?

    Cheers,
