Goby and Shrimp relationship question??

[kylehustonvw]

I have a 3"+ pink spotted shrimp goby I have had for 2 years now and he has been living in a 29 gallon with a fire shrimp for a while now and they get along great. I am looking at picking up a pistol shrimp to add to my 29 gallon but I cant find too much information regarding 2 different shrimps living together with the Goby.. I have had cleaner shrimp in the past but they always become meals for my goby.. will a pistil shrimp added with a fire shrimp and goby cause any issues???

I don't think that will cause any issues I have two pistol shrimp and have a skunk cleaner shrimp. I don't even think they know each other are there lol. The pistol shrimp you very rarely see he just stays under the rocks in his caves and the goby stays by all there entrances. I would say it's very important that you put your rock down first and then put your sand in so that when he digs around he won't get crushed. Get a tiger pistol shrimp Red C Aquariums usually has them in stock the first one I bought was a bullseye Pistol and they don't pair up with fish.

I have an orange spot goby, a tiger pistol, and two fire shrimp in my JBJ-28 with no issues for the last 10 months. Also have two peppermint shrimp that have been in the same tank for about two months now.
