Candy cane pistol shrimp

[Bcook1016]

I was wondering how much does the average pistol shrimp cost and is it okay with cleaner shrimp in a 15 gallon?! With being VERY well fed

Every pistol shrimp cost a diffrent amount but candy canes usually cost 20-30 bucks.

Should be fine with your cleaner.

This is the least expensive I could find and yes.

I've seen them from $25 to $50 at LFS here.

Okay awesome thanks!

Is the pistol shrimp going to be okay with a yellow striped blenny in a 15 gallon?!

Technically they would get along fine, but I think a 15 gal is too small for a yellow tail blenny.

Okay what size tank do you think it needs?

25-30 gallons. They get a decent size and they are a pretty active fish.

Yeah I was actually thinking about getting rid of him and just letting the pistol shrimp in because I have enough bio load as it is

Would a pistol shrimp and yellow watchman goby be okay with 2 clowns and a purple and yellow dotty back?!

Or be okay with the 2 clowns and the pistol shrimp and yellow watchman goby?!

No, dottybacks are very territorial, especially in small tanks.

A pistol shrimp and a YWG will get along with some clowns fine though.

You can try a fish trap (either homemade or bought), you can try to get him during feeding time or lights out, or since this is a 15 gal you can just remove some rocks for a second to catch him.
