possibly but not likely. I had a pistol in with 4 peppermints, 1 scarlet cleaner, and 1 fire red cleaner. Never had a problem.... well, until I introduced a mystery wrasse that is but that's another story. :hmm2:

Can't help but laugh at this one
My mystery wrasse has eaten more shrimp dinners than I have.... Only one big bad mean a** cleaner has survived.... UGGGG gorgeous fish, but I kind of wish sometimes I didn't have him LOL I miss watching cleaner shrimp play. And it would be real nice to be able to keep peps.

I definitely miss my cleaners but the mystery wrasse I like more. He devoured the peppermint shrimp the first night he was in there. The cleaner lasted another two weeks and though it would be fine. I was totally wrong on that. I got to see him go after the fire shrimp. The shrimp came darting out of a cave and right behind him was the wrasse. Then in one quick dart forward the wrasse took the shrimp's head clean off. I was in shock and amazement. Wish I had gotten it on camera but sad at the same time.
For some reason he doesn't go near the pistol shrimp though... :frog:
The mystery wrasse would go if he did anything to the pistol. I like the pistol more then the wrasse. The yellow watchman gobie does a really good job too at pushing all the other fish away from their mining excavation sites.

Yeah.. he munched all the peps in short order, and the one cleaner that survived can only be seen by flashlight if you peep in the middle of the night... 
Not the way a cleaner should live But I do agree Jason, the mystery is an awesome fish... Even though I sometimes regret that I can't keep shrimp, I won't pull him out.. And I'd get him again Josee........ It gives me an excuse to keep two tanks

Make sure you have adequate distance between the two gobies, they will jaw at each other if either encroaches on the others territory, it is amusing to watch how big their mouths get when quarreling
Edit: Where did you pick up the Tiger Pistol at, if I may ask?
thanks!
I know were the blue-spoted lives... did not se the yellow too much since it's in there...
I got my pistol at a local LFS in my city.

Nice find. Thought it was another video I've seen several times before from the BBC but noticed that there were several clips in the one you linked that they used in the BBC production.
