Two pistols in 22G

[Khai]

I posted earlier with a question about a shrimp that ended up being a non-goby hosting pistol. I'd like to get another pistol, a tiger pistol for my goby to form a symbiotic relationship with...anyone had any experience with two pistol shrimps in one tank? Any advice on this would be most appreciated...I'll probably pull the trigger on this tiger pistol soon...(tonight).

I was surfing around the web and I cant find anything that says you can not have 2 of them. I also didn't find anything about them having to be a mated pair. I did find this however
"The name Symbiotic Shrimp comes from the equally beneficial relationship the Pistol Shrimp has with gobies (e.g.;Amblyeleotris or Stonogobiops). The goby, with better eyesight, warns the shrimp of predators. The shrimp share its food with the goby. Depending upon the species, Pistol Shrimp may also have symbiotic relationships with sponges, corals, or anemones (e.g.; Bartholomea annulata). "
I had no idea that they formed a relationship with sponges I found that to be pretty neat.

I have multiple species of pistol shrimp and have had no problems that I know of. They all seem to coexist and some times coming in and out of the same burrows with each other.

I have 3 tiger pistal shrimp in a 55 and im pretty sure they have never seen each other. I have a lot of rock but besides cleaning their burrow or maybe a quick dash for some food mines never leave their gobies side. So 2 should not be a problem
