Best shrimp goby

[RWhitt907]

I lost my Diamond Goby today after a little over a year in my tank. What would be a good shrimp goby replacement for him?

Hi-Fin gobies are great

I've got a 75g. Do you think having both a Dracula and a Yasha would be possible

Dracula's are awesome. Think I could have this in a 75 with a Yasha?

I think it would be a hit or miss. they could live in perfect harmony each with their own burrows OR one bullies the other to death. were you thinking of getting a second pistol shrimp for the other?

Hopefully this isn't a hijack, but in addition to the question of which species is best overall, is there any broad consensus on which species are the most hardy?

I would if I added a second shrimp goby, yes.

Gobies in general are very hardy. I had a diamond goby survive two velvet outbreaks without ever catching it.
