I have a Yellow Watchman Goby and I'm going to be looking for a pistol shrimp to pair him with in the coming weeks. Are all pistol shrimp grow to similar size at adulthood? Are some pistol shrimp more tolerant of other shrimp and inverts in the tank? I plan on putting these guys in a 30G cube with peaceful tankmates.
 
I've got a yasha haze goby and a tiger pistol in my 30g cube. I also have a skunk cleaner shrimp and a mithrax crab. All have been cohabitating peacefully for well over two years now. Tiger pistols max out at about 3", a Randall's, or candy stripe pistol grows to about 2". HTH.
 
I picked up one today while on vacation, they said is it a Bullseye Pistol but I'm not so sure. I don't see the spot on the side. I will try to get a photo if I can. Fingers crossed he won't be too much of a terror.
 
After looking at him again and pictures online, I think it is a Curlie Que Pistol Shrimp. Anyone have experience with these guys?
