Black ray goby pairing with yasha goby

[JBissell1289]

So when finishing off my stock for my new tank I got a pair of black ray gobies. But one of them got stressed out from being caught at the LFS and didn’t make it through the night. They gave me credit as they aren’t getting more black ray gobies until Tuesday.

My concern is that getting a new black ray goby they may not pair off and live in the same burrow with my pair pistol shrimps who burrow together.

I’ve read that black ray gobies and yasha gobies will pair off.

So I’m trying to decide which option is most likely to workout for them living in the same burrow. Anyone have any thoughts?

I would think its going to be a hit or miss deal. If you tank is large the may split off but if your tank is smaller i would think you have a better chance but they also may never get along.
