Yasha gobie in 90g compatible?

[aleok]

My LFS has some Yasha Gobies in without any pistol shrimp. I'm still considering getting one or a mated pair if i can. Before i purchase these expensive guys I want to make sure they won't get bullied to death by my fiji damsel, percula clowns, anthias and longnose hawkfish in my 90g. thanks!!

I don't think that's a good plan. Yashas are small, and you've listed some fairly mean fish. Yashas are best kept in a smaller tank, also, since you see more of them that way.
I suggest getting a pistol, even if it's not already paired. Tiger pistols or Randall's pistols should work.

It should work but i would be careful with that damselfish.

Damsels would be the most aggressive out of the bunch. I've found clarkii clowns and tangs don't seem to mind "bottom rock dwelling" fish as I added both my mandarin and blue spotted goby last to my system.

Get a fairly large pistol like a tiger pistol and let him burrow for a while before adding the gobies. He should protect the gobies from any bullies.

I have one in my 6 foot tank and no one pays him any mind (multiple wrasse, 2 tangs, pair of clowns, genicanthus angel and Azure damsel). One of my favorite fish.

Mine is in my 6 foot. He lived under a rock with the pistol for awhile, now the pistol has been made lunch (I believe by six line) and goby is out and about. He is either lost without the pistol or likes to live dangerously in the open with all bigger fish over him.
