I couldn't snag a pic of the pistol shrimp, he's very very tiny, but here is my dracula goby pair. love these guys

fdonophan, that is so awesome, the need to survive can make for strange bed-fellows.

 

[antimatter]

are the odds pretty high of them pairing up? i am setting up a 12g and want to try it out

 

[Just2Many]

I love those dracula pair.

 

[reefjunkie42]

antimatter-are you referring to my gobies? if so yes they are a pair with different coloration, the differences are faint but noticeable

Just2many-Thanks! they are easily my favorite fish, if i wasn't addicted to wrasses that is lol

 

[Just2Many]

Still anyone with a diamond goby?

 

[Yurivd]

Not sure if this is really a "prawn Goby" but...

Do you find the white cap goby hard to keep
I had one but never started eating
I have a friend he has imported a lot of them he also told me thy do not do good in aquariums

 

[Green_Reefer]

I have a whitecap living with a tiger pistol and a yasha goby. Without a shrimp to pair with he did not seem to do well, met up with the shrimp within 2 minutes of being introduced to the tank and has been a total trooper for the last 7 months.

That dracula pair is amazing.

I have a dracula that shares a candy pistol with a yasha goby, I will get some pics up tonight.

How much sand do you guys have? I'd so love a pair of these, but my sandbed is 3 inches at most and even more shallow in some areas. My clowns like playing "rearrange the sandbed".

 

[ryanrid]

what would be the max sand size for these to burrow in?

Here is my mafnificent goby, you can't see his shrimp but I do love this fish:

Here is the dracula yasha goby pair:

That is so cool!!

Anyone have a diamond goby hosted?

To my understanding, diamond gobies don't host pistol shrimps because they are able to excavate their own homes. I have video of a pair of diamond gobies trying to attack a tiger pistol, but the shrimp is protected by his host goby... at least I hope I still have the video somewhere

That is one sick (in a good way) goby! I've never seen a magnificent goby at the pet store

 

[blufgan]

I have a pair of yashia's with a candy cane pistol they share their burrow with a watchman. One of the most amazing relationships I've ever seen

not every day you see a magnificent goby. that is superb. i'm thinking of setting up my 9g again with a goby pair and/or pistol shrimp with lots of shrooms. and zoas. this will not be for awhile and you got me interested in that magnificent goby. how did you acquire him? (lfs, online, friend in the hobby) did he acclimate well?

 

[mic209]

Here was my pair, the red striped goby jumped out of the aquarium a week after this picture. The tiger pistol still lives, he is tiny probably a 3/8 of an inch long.

So I have a question about pairing. Got both my watchman and pistol shrimp this weekend. Arrived at the house in separate bags. Got them acculmated in the same bucket and seemed to be bonding. Put them in the tank let them be for the rest of the day. Came home and both were in the same spot so I'm thinking to myself, yes they are paired up. Well, wake up today and the watchman is out and about no where near the shrimp and I noticed the shrimp had moved. So the day goes on and still the watchman is just chilling on one side and the shrimp on the other.

My question is, is this normal in yalls experience? I know it's only been a day I just want other peoples stories.
