When to be worried about finding a fish?

I picked up a pistol shrimp and high fine goby on Saturday. Since adding them to my tank I haven't seen either of them. I know they're probably tucked away hiding as that's what they do but I want to make sure they're getting food. How do I do this?

Listen for the snaps when the lights go out. It'll sound like your tank just cracked.

I bought one and never saw him again. But knew he was there when I heard those phantom snaps

as far as your goby... give it some time

i see my pistol once every year or 2.. i hear him every so often in the evening after the lights go out.. honestly.. i dont think i would buy one again for a large tank.. maybe only a pico/nano so i could see him a bit more. I dont have a goby with mine.

I too have a pistol shrimp that is heard but never seen. Bought him with a goby that promptly went into the overflow then out onto the floor before I got a chance to get him out.

Between me sleeping like a log, and I always have either music of the tv on I don't know if I would be able to hear him. Regardless, I turned all the pumps off to feed my dartfish and look who came out.
