Two goby

Anyone have two gobys and one pistol. So i got one and one but I want to two gobys. Is it possible to put a new same goby in the tank and will it make the goby more bold more out in the out in the open? Or I would like to put a different goby and pistol is that possible?

I have a pair of yellow watchman gobies with a tiger pistol and a pair of Randall gobies with a candy pistol. Both I paired up after I had one of each for a while. Added pistols later. Everyone is very active with or without the pistol shrimp. I definitely feel they get more bold with a companion. Seems like when it is just one goby and a pistol they hardly ever leave the shrimp or cave I think.

I have an old giant watchman (8 years in my possession) and I didn't know it was still alive I didn't see it for over two years! I have a pistol shrimp that was a hitchhiker

I suggest getting small. I couldn't find any information to tell sex, I tried to play it safe by getting the new addituons small as possible and had success both times luckily.
