Are two Pistol shrimp a bad idea?

[germs101]

Unfortunately someone left my son's lid ajar, and his Randall's gobie jumped. He wants the same gobie, but I'm having trouble finding one online that doesn't already come with a paired shrimp. If I got one with a shrimp would the teo shrimp get along? This is for a 15 gallon cube. The new shrimp would be separated from the fish for 76 days to quarantine him if that matters to this senario.

You could always get another variety of shrimp goby, like a hi-fin red banded, yasha or yellow watchman. I have only ever had one pistol, so I have no idea how compatible they would be. I'd definitely shoot for a different shrimp goby first, if thats an option.

Edit: Found one
