im not talking about you and how much you love your tank, but more along the lines of the animals living in your tank. normally pistol shrimp are suppose to pair up with gobys such as the yellow watchman right? well i noticed my domino damsel hanging around one of my pistols largest burrow and even trying to go into it, the pistol doesnt seem to mind he comes out more when the domino is around usually just his claws but when domino is near his whole body. did the pistol mix him up witha goby or is the domino a real con artist?
 
my yellow tang, hippo tang, cleaner wrasse, cinnamon clown, and royal dotty back have formed a nice little group. =)
 
My Hippo tang and maroon clownfish seemed to have developed an attachment to each other. They constantly feed together and follow each other around the tank. Funny thing is that before the tang arrived the clownfish hardly ever moved. Now both of them are out all the time and very fun to watch.
 
Map69, my clown (percula) stays in one spot waiting for food all day doesnt swim with the other fish maybe he needs a friend? tangs are to big
 
I got the tang from a friend of mine. The funny thing is when he had it in his tank his pair of mated clowns kind of went their separate ways because one of the clowns seemed to prefer the tang. There's probably a more reasonable explanation but that's the one he gave. Now with what's happening in my tank I'm thinking he may be correct but who knows. It's funny anyway you look at it.
 
I've had a mantis shrimp and a sally lightfoot crab housed together for months. At one time they shared a five gallon space and they have never fought. Seemed to be odd at first but now I think nothing of it.
 
My Bow-Tie Damsel and my Pistol Shrimp used to share a burrow until the damsel outgrew the space.
