Hello every one, I bought a YWG and tiger pistol shrimp pair from my LFS about a week ago. The goby is about 1" and the shrimp is maybe 3/4" there both tiny. So they settled in nicely and the shrimp went right to work digging them out a burrow, and the goby keeps watch. When I feed the tank the goby gets his share and sometimes the pistol pokes out like he wants to catch something to eat but never ventured far enough to get anything. My question is do I need to target feed their burrow to make sure he's getting something? Or does he scavenge enough food or eat ditritus?

TIA for any input
