Multiple gobies, multiple pistolshrimp?

[Reckotch]

My qustion is about how it might go with a Yellow Watchman goby and a magnus goby in the same tank, as well as a threespot pistol shrimp (Alpheus parvimaculatus) and a tiger pistol shrimp.

I ordered what I thuought was a yellow watchman+tiger pistol shrimp but recieved a threespot pistol (does not pair with gobies) and a striped small goby, thought to be a magnus goby that prefers to stay alongside rockcaves/burrows.

Would it be probable for it to work in the same tank?

50 gallon mixed reef with several hidingspots/caveburrow opportunities.

Having kept hi-fins and yellows in a 65, I think this could work. I'd probably worry more about the shrimp than the gobies.

I've had YWG that would share caves and shrimp with anyone and Ive had YWG that wouldn't share anything with anyone. I've only had a few over the years so I'm not sure what is the typical YWG behavior.

Good luck!

The gobies will be fine, but pistol shrimp are intolerant of other pistol shrimp in aquaria.
