Yasha Goby Pair question....

[waverz]

I just bought a pair of Yasha Goby's along with a Candy Pistol Shrimp. The Goby's were together when I first put them in the tank yesterday and the shrimp was MIA right after putting it in the tank. This morning I come to find the male Yasha a pistol shrimp have found each other and have made a burrow. The female Yasha unfortunately, is still hiding in the rocks on the other side of the tank.

I am hoping she will come out and "hook up" with the male and pistol shrimp soon but am nervous that she might not find them.

Anyone else been in this situation?

I just got to witness something VERY COOL! I just feed my tank and put it in "Feed Mode" with all the pumps shut off my shy Yasha Goby decided to come out of the rock work. And then other one popped it head out and I think they finally noticed each other. It gets better!

I was sitting there staring at the tank thinking COME ON! You guys have to see each other but the shy one swims away and ducks into a cave about 4-5 inches away from where the other Yasha Goby and pistol shrimp are.

All of a sudden I see a sand storm come out of the cave. It's the pistol shrimp!!! It has a tunnel going all the way through and the once lost Yasha snuck in the back door!

They are now in the same tunnel all happy. :beer:

I think these maybe my new favorite fish by far. They are so fun to watch!

That's awesome. I'm excited for the video. I'm considering getting a yasha/pistol pair myself.

Slight problem with the video. Short story is basement flooded, PC was on the floor. I am in the process of trying to rebuild ATM.

I can get some pics later today though. Not as cool as video of course.

Sorry about the flood but glad they all found each other. Yashas and candy pistols are my favorites. Look forward o the pics/vid.

I'm a huge fan of the yasa hashe goby - randall's pistol shrimp pair. You are quite lucky to have the trio!

I have been debating yasa versus high fin for my little pistol shrimp. It's in a 120 so it will be like the ocean to them! I can't wait.
