I have read many accounts that as interesting as it is for a goby like the YWG to have a Pistol Shrimp companion, that having a Pistol Shrimp can actually be a hassle as it moves rocks and sand and may intentionally / unintentionally injure or even in rare cases, kill the Goby. Is that generally true?
Can a Shrimp Goby do just as well without a Pistol Shrimp? My LFS does not like the idea of a deep sand bed (3-4”) which may be required for the shrimp to make a burrow.
I’ll also be keeping Snails and Cleaner Shrimp, so I’m also worried a Pistol Shrimp May eat them. If my YWG can do just as well without a shrimp maybe I’ll have just the fish.
Would love opinions. Thanks.
