Hey everyone.

Haven't seen a thread showing off peoples Goby/Shrimp combos. I've got an Aurora Goby and Tiger Pistol Shrimp that are a very interesting pair. The pistol shrimp is very present always doing his landscaping. The goby has a very "what you looking at" attitude but always out front. I had always heard these type of fish/shrimp tend to be shy but I've experienced the opposite so far. What other combos do people have?

Nerve got around to getting a shrimp for my tank but I planned on getting a blood red fire shrimp to go along with my ywg!
 
My pair = Stonogobiops Nematode with a Randall's shrimp. This particular goby keeps the shrimp on a longer leash compared to other pairs I've had in the past.
 
I have a YWG (Cryprocentrus cinctus) currently paired with a Randall’s Pistol. The Pistol was originally paired to a Stonogobiops yasha, but I unfortunately lost the yasha a few months ago, so when the tanks got shut down in April/May, I decided to pair my Pistol (who was only around 1 inch when I paired her) with the Cinctus.

I’d love a Tomyichthys nudus and A. randalli pair for my nano system once it’s set back up.

Do you have photos?
 
Sorry I’m a bit late but this weekend got a white cap goby and red spotted pistol shrimp. So far they are destroying my sandbed but a lot of fun to watch them! Finally got a video of both of them in their tunnel (which spans the entire tank)
