Pistol Shrimp in a nano

[thompsonswim1]

hay I just got a 9 gallon Nano Wave as a gift. one of the things that I wanted for this tank was a pistol shrimp to hang out with a Orange Stripe Prawn Goby. but I don't know what that pistol shrimp will do once it is in the tank.

I guess that my concern is that if I buy this Shrimp it will try to kill the other animals in the tank.

if you know what this shrimp is like then please tell me how you feel about the little guy

:clown:
thanks,

With only 9 gallons you probably shouldn't have much more than the shrimp and a goby. Maybe a few snails that are cheap and easily replaced if the shrimp starts shooting them.

yah the other tank that I have has snails that breed about once a month. So there is not a problem with getting more snails for the tank.

will pistol shrimp attack snails?

I thought that they where more into other shrimp and small fish
