good shrimp gobies

[deadly_damsel]

i just got a bullseye pistol shrimp and i want to find a good goby for it to live with. one of the problems is that i also have a banded coral shrimp. does anyone know any particular species that would get along with my bullseye pistol and not get killed by the banded coral shrimp?

I can heartily recommend a single or pair of Orange Stripe Prawn Goby (relatively large for your tank though) or a high fin red banded goby which has great personality and is small. I doubt that the banded coral shrimp will bother the pistol shrimp and certainly will ignore the shrimp goby.

I thought bullseye pistols do not pair w/ a goby. Welcome to Reef Central!

I've heard the same that bullseye pistol shrimp do not normally pair with shrimp gobies.

I was not commenting on the bullseye pistol (which does not pair with shrimp gobies), I was only suggesting a couple of good shrimp gobies. I should have read her post more carefully.

I have heard that bullseyes dont pair with shrimp gobies normally but i have also heard of a few occasions when they did.
