Watchman goby and pistol shrimp in 29g?

[nystang]

My current stock in 29 g regular tank is:

2 clownfish
Forktail blenny
Midas blenny
Blood shrimp
Coral banded shrimp

I am thinking about adding Yellow watchman goby with a pistol shrimp or without. My rocks are now on the bottom so I'm not worried about any structural damage but I'm not sure if they will be ok with other shrimps, specially with coral banded. What do you think? Any other suggestion?
I recently lost Azure Damsel so if my idea doesn't work I will probably by the same damsel again.

You are well stocked as it is but since YWG is a bottom dweller you might be able to get away with it.

I would just make sure your filtration is up to par and midas blenny isn't overly aggressive toward a goby.

My Midas blenny is very peaceful and stay usually in its cave

The other shrimps won't be an issue, but the YWG and the Blenny may not get along as they're both bottom dwellers and may see each other as competitors. 5 fish in a 29 is pushing it, but if you have a good skimmer or keep up with water changes it should be ok, but not optimal.

Maybe try a smaller goby? Yasha or such? But do keep an eye on the blenny, just in case.
And DEFINITELY keep an eye on the banded shrimp. Those will eat slow, sick, or sleeping fish if they get the chance. For example, your clownfish or your hole-sleeping blennies. The watchman should be safe, though, since it lives in a tunnel. Fire shrimp may be in danger as well... If it gets close enough.

Midas Blenny stays in the cave high on the rocks and the Forktail Blenny is rather peaceful. Do you think the Yasha Goby will be fine without any companion?

The yellow watchman with the pistol will be fine with adequate rock to burrow under
