Goby and shrimp pair for a 16 gallon

[Zoa_Fanatic]

I’ve got a 16 gallon biocube with only a four stripe damsel in it. He’s old so eventually he’ll pass on me. When he does can I get by with a shrimp and goby pair in a tank this small? Any suggestions on the goby? I’m going with a candy cane pistol since the LFS only gets MASSIVE tigers when they get tigers. And I like my corals low on my rockwork.

Does the pistol shrimp kill inverts or are they generally peaceful?

I have a pistol and a goby pair in my 20 gal drop off. I don't think he's every bothered any of the snails in there. But he did bury and kill a couple acans

He couldn’t be any worse than my old engineer goby lol. Dude was 18” long and basically destroyed my tank every night

My Randal's pistol shrimps seriously excavate my tank EVERY night. It's how I know they are still in there lol. I got a goby for them but I think he may have given up his ghost!

The pistols I've had have never been seen targeting any thing else in the tank, except my jawfish who would not be welcome in his den, had scratches on him but they cool now
