Hi Fin Red Bonded Goby pair with pistol shrimp and Purple Firefish?

She does want a goby/pistol shrimp pair, just not sure which goby. She likes the yellow watchman but it gets pretty big,...any small goby suggestion that will easily pair with a pistol shrimp?

Hang in there Leigh Ann. These guys are too cute.

I have a Randall's goby paired with a tiger pistol. They are pretty small and really cool looking.

This thread has been awesome!!! All of you are amazing. Thank you @Mark75 for putting this thread together because I have been researching this tank for weeks now. It would also be my first salt water tank, but the second in our household (Red Sea Reefer 350). I love the simplicity of the tank, however I didn't like the covering nor the light functionality so I was searching for alternatives as well. Somebody suggested the AI Prime and that is what I believe I will go with and the mount. Y'all talked about upgrading other things like intake, what would you guys suggest?

Two tiny clowns straight from the hatchery. [emoji3]

Yasha, Randalls, Dracula, highfin, white cap and flaming prawn are all colorful (and some quite expensive) and will pair with a shrimp. I'd stay away from the tiger pistols as they can be a bit destructive. I'd personally go with a Randall's pistol (or candycane) pistol shrimp.

 

[Mark75]

Leigh Ann likes the Randall's so that will probably be the one she picks,...I liked the flaming prawn.

I've got a Randall's and really like it

Does your pair do a lot of digging? This small tank can not deal with a very active digger.

@Mark75 you think Leigh Ann would like the alveopora I have for sale?

Leigh Ann said,..."yes I would like for you to buy me Caleb's alveopora!":rolleyes: I am not familiar with keeping alveopora,..what little I know is it is similar to goniopora but easier,...likes dirtier water, moderate flow/lighting?
