Jawfish or Watchman+Pistol

[pixelpixi]

I want to get either a jawfish or a watchman goby and pistol shrimp for my new 20 gallon. I really like the jawfish, but the goby and shrimp working together sounds neat too.

Which would you go with and why?

Wote 4 the watchman goby+shrimp combo, for the intertainment walue some ropefish can be added to the mix with interesting results.

Both are very interesting.

I have a pistol and watchman pair in my 65 and I see both of them all the time as well as I hear the shrimp often. Its a pretty cool combo to have.

How deep of a sand bed do you have? I have a yellowhead jawfish and they (like all jawfish) require a DSB of at least 5".

I've read conflicting reports on how deep a sand bed they require, with some people saying 3" and at the other end 6." I had been planning on about 4" for aesthetic reasons, but I can go 5 or 6 on one end of the tank if it'll actually make the little guy happier.
