hello, I have had a goby/shrimp symbiosis for 5 months and today my pistol shrimp is preventing my fish from entering the cave, what should I do?

bonjour, j'ai une symbiose gobie/crevette depuis 5 mois et aujourd'hui ma crevette pistolet empêche mes poissons d'entrer dans la grotte, que dois-je faire ?
That happens sometimes. All you can do is wait and see what happens. I know it’s not what you want to hear, but they’ll both be fine without each other if they don’t pair up again.

I have the impression that the goby wants entry but that the shrimp is preventing it

Is the goby activity trying to dig in and the pistol is forcing it out? What kind of shrimp and goby?
I’ve had some live right by each other and never pair for over a year.

I can't see very well, but I hear pliers clicking. A tiger shrimp

What species goby? Tigers generally are best with cryptocentrus species (yellow watchman being the most common) and occasionally amblyeliotris species (aurora, Randall’s, wheelers, etc.). I wouldn’t count on one pairing with a stonogobiops (high fin, yasha, Dracula) except under rare cases.

It's an Amblyeleotris aurora, I bought them in pairs already formed
