I just bought a new tiger pistol yesterday and hes been working hard building a series of caves under my LR. I have a Diamond goby who has his burrow right next to the tiger's. I was wondering if the orangespots were known to form relationships with pistol shrimp and if not would it be ok to get more than one goby in a 80g tank?
 
I know the diamond goby is a sand shifter but I'm not sure it is a shrimp goby, it could be 50/50 depending on your fish.
 
Diamond gobies don't normally associate with pistol shrimp, however, in the confines of an aquarium they may indeed share the same burrow. I doubt it would be anything like a true symbiotic goby/shrimp relationship; the goby will spend most of the day away from its burrow sifting sand.
 
Ok thanks. Would it be ok to put a shrimp goby in there with my sleeper?
Or is it strictly one goby per tank. My tank is 75 g
