So upon hearing a clicking noise for a few weeks coming from the tank, I just found a pistol shrimp about the size of my whole pinky finger in my tank. I've had the tank for around 5 -6 months and didn't know he was in there this whole time. I'm debating on keeping him or rehoming him. Any thoughts or experience with these little guys?
