If they properly pair having a Goby will mute the pistol shrimp greatly to 1 or 2 pops occasionally sometimes once a week. (that you're around to hear at least in my experience.)I have a Yellow Watchman Goby and i would like to pair him with a Pistol Shrimp.
Just wondering how loud is the click/pop form pistol shrimp. Also how often does the sound occur? Every 5 minutes? Maybe once a night. Twice a week?
Lastly which pistol stays smallest and is most peaceful. Thanks.
Without a Goby normally when I've had them it's 2-8 times a day of popping. It's pretty infrequent, and the volume is as if you had an empty tank, and dropped a quarter size rock into the water, the "plink" it makes when it hits the bottom, that's like a comparison I guess in loudness, (not sound) It sounds like your glass is cracking, but it's not as loud as if your glass ACTUALLY cracked... if that makes sense....
It's mainly at night, when they become more active, between 1-2 hours before lights out and 1-2 hours after
