So i have 2 pistol shrimps. Probably not recommended. One is in one corner of the tank paired with a Hi Fin Red Banded Goby under my zoa frags and the other is under my rocks on the other side paired with my Yellow watchman goby. Will they kill each other if they are already paired with a shrimp. Survived last night. TIA Rich

Not sure it is a great idea either. Not a 20L even? They will begin to cross territory. Maybe set up a little 5gal and add the hifin/pistol to that. They can be in a little tank. JMO

so its been a week and the candy cane that is paired with the hi fin goby is still alive. Should I try to get the tiger shrimp tomorrow when I do a water change. Will have to totally take down the tank to catch it as it is very quick

So I finally saw the tiger pistol under my zoa and got a net and transferred him to my display tank and my candy cane survived 3 weeks. However, I now have 2 candycanes living in the same burrow when I only bought 1. How the heck is that possible. It is awesome though.
