Snapping shrimp with "regular" shrimp

[danielp]

Anybody has any experience with keeping a pair of goby&snapping shrimp with other shrimps like Lysmata debelius and Lysmata amboinensis? Basicaly any cleaner shrimps? I heard mix opinions and I am afraid that my cleaner shrimps are not gonna live long, and I have a few of them in my new 50gal reef.

I have had a pistol shrimp with cleaner for 3 yrs no prob... Is you snapping shrimp pistol for sure?

I do not have one yet, its just one of the options I am thinking about. I move my older larger reef into smaller tank and now I am thinking about some smaller fish for that 50gal, plus I think their "relationship" is neat to observe and watch. After 3 years of going bare bottom I have sand again in my tank so I want to use it

Pistol shrimp/goby pair will be fine with other shrimp. I have them in my tank and it is all good

Have a tiger pistol/watchman goby pair in with two fire/blood shrimp , two cleaners and 3-4 peppermints. They all get along even at feeding time.

OK good to know guys, I am thinking about yasha goby with shrimp, or dracula goby with shrimp.
Ohh one more question, are they jumpers (goby)?

If they get spooked, then they may jump. But then again any fish can jump. If you are worried you can put a screen over the tank.
