Hey all!
I recently got a pistol shrimp and a pinkbar goby (Amblyeleotris aurora). The goby, surprisingly, lived together with my diamond goby (Valenciennea puellaris) and they seemed to get along well. The pinkbar goby and the shrimp never paired up in the 4 days I had them as the pinkbar was shy and only recently started to come out of its hole.
Unfortunately, the pinkbar goby jumped out of the tank despite safety precautions and I found it on the floor the next morning. Now the pistol shrimp is lonley and needs a new buddy. However, I am having difficulty finding a partner that meets all of the criteria:

- Must be compatible with my diamond goby
- Suitable for a 30 gal long mixed reef, 9 months old
- Preferrably not a jumper. Loved the pinkbar, can't bear to lose another one.
