Pistol Shrimp info

[kmf507]

My wife bought me a nano for Christmas and I'm thinking of the pistol shrimp/goby route. I am wondering how loud they are though? Some posts I have read make it seem like a pistol shrimp will keep you up at night. How often/how loud is it?

it isnt that loud, i had one in my bed room and it was fine.

on the flip side, they do move a lot of sand in small tanks.

I had one that I never heard. Do you have a watchman gobie to go along with it?

kmf, what kinda gobie do you want to go with it? jw I dont know anything about them either and was thinking of getting one with a red banded gobie...at least that what I think its called...(neon green with a red strip accross its face) lol

Don't have anything for it yet, but planning on getting a pistol and a goby.

I have one in my 225g system...........Well I put one in there but have yet to ever here it snap/pop or anything. Rich1972 had one when he had his 29g set-up, you could here it well, if the T.V. wasn't up to loud ( Suround sound not on) you could make it out.
