What are the chances of safely adding 2 Shrimp and Goby pairs in a 130 5.5’ tank? What about 2 Tiger Pistols? I’m looking at a pair of Yellow Watchman and a pair of Orange Spotted Gobies.

i know a lot of people probably advise against this, but we literally just learned tonight that our two big yellow watchman gobies are paired with TWO tiger pistol shrimp in the same burrow.. we didn’t believe that would ever happen but both shrimp are excavating away & living their best shrimp lives together with the gobies & one tiger pistol is around 2 1/2 inches long and beefy & the other is around 1 1/2 inch and no issues at all.. we didn’t do this on purpose and actually thought the smaller pistol had sadly died in our tank and we couldn’t find any sign of it at all until tonight, we also have a peppermint shrimp who hides in another zone in our tank with a hi fin goby.. as well as a tiny yellow watchman who was supposed to be paired up with that other tiger pistol shrimp. so, in my view this can happen and work.. but you have to make sure your tank has enough space for everyone to (mind their own business) lolWhat are the chances of safely adding 2 Shrimp and Goby pairs in a 130 5.5’ tank?
