I have an 80 gallon 4’ tank, I’m currently looking to get a candy pistol shrimp to go with my Yasha Goby, but I wanted to look at getting a bullseye pistol shrimp as well, they don’t pair with goby’s they kind of keep to themselves. Because the bull’s-eye and the candy stay relatively small, will it be OK to have two pistol shrimp in the same tank?

Pistols can be pretty territorial, you wouldn't want them to "find" each other. It would probs be okay if your tank is over 30 gallons and you release them on opposite sides of the tank.
