I got myself a tiger pistol shrimp and a yellow watchman goby last week (unpaired)
I created a space in the aquarium for them with a rock they could build a cave under and to my surprise I put them both in the tank next to the rock, within minutes they were paired up and the shrimp was creating a new home.
However, (you knew one was coming ) the shrimp has since decided to wander off over the back of the aquarium and disappear, I know it's still around as I can it snapping from time to time. Unfortunately, when it left, it left the goby behind or kicked it out and now the goby is looking stressed, it also keeps swimming over to the blenny's house (which normally results in a fight).
Is there any way to encourage the shrimp to relocate to somewhere more visible (I want to see it after all) and to get it to share its home with the goby?
Thanks
steve
