I previously had a tiger pistol with rhe YWG, but Garfunkel unfortunately passed away some time ago over the past couple months.

Should I get a replacement tiger pistol for my YWG, and get a pistol shrimp for my Yasha goby? I have a 15 gal and I’m worried the shrimps would fight with each other.

Yeah, I have a pistol shrimp. From my experience and what I have read is that they are typically aggressive towards all inverts, but can be super peaceful like mine. I would encourage one, they are awesome, but would discourage multiple, as that is just tempting fate.

My shrimp is a stone cold killer.
All night a madman snapping.
Stacking bodies like firewood.

I think that's a poem.
