Wondering if I can keep a bubble tip with a pistol shrimp in the tank. My shrimp does not venture to far from its burrows. I also have a yellow watchman goby. I have an aquatop 13 gallon tank.
 
I don't think a pistol shrimp would bother a BTA, or vice versa. Should be fine.
 
I have multiple BTAs in a tank with a pistol shrimp. Honestly the pistol shrimp spends most of his time in the sand/under rocks while the bubble tips are up higher toward the light so they never even get the chance to interact. They have been in the same tank for minimum of a year now. They will take out your snails and pull your frags in to decorate their caves though so fair warning :)
