two pistol shrimps?

[reefyredfish]

I have a 75 g tank with lots of LR. I already have one pistol shrimp that lives
up in a hole in a large rock. I bought a wheeler goby to pair with him but
the goby stays on the bottom never to see each other. I'm thinking of getting
another pistol shrimp for the goby. Is it possible to have two in one tank?
The one I have never leaves the hole and even at night. I feed him by hand and
he's very content in his home.
Thanks!

I'd say it's fine to have 2, or even 3. They only need a small space, and mine never move around. 2 of mine are within 6 or 7 inches of each other, and never interact. But you'll be in for a lot of popping. And I'd consider a couple more gobies, so that the chances increase for pairing up. I've not had gobies fight, only either pair with each other and a shrimp or live apart.

My friend has two in his 46g. They fight a little, but so far so good.
