Okay, so my favorite fish is a YWG. I ordered a ORA Watchman Goby from divers den months ago and he went through QT and I put him in my DT. He immediately found my resident pistol shrimp and now they are buddies. He is not a YWG as I thought, but rather the larger one with blueish dots. Great fish!
I would however really love to get a true YWG and pistol shrimp combo as well. Is this possible if they go to the other side of my tank? It is a reefer 450 so 90 gallon display. Can this be done and if so how can I try to make sure they go to the other side?
If not, can I add any other type of gobies? Gobies and blennies have always been my favorite. I currently have a Midas and Tailspot blenny in the tank along with a pair of cleaner gobies. Other fish, but not blennies or gobies. I will however be adding a bonded pair of Mandarins if they survive QT.
 
It will be fine to add a ywg. They may share a same burrow or have separate burrows, but they will be fine together.
 
I have a breeding pair of YWG that I've had since they were babies and I absolutely love then. I was actually looking on live aquaria and they had a grey one that they call just a watchman and then they have the YWG.

these are mine.

Theres a pic of one of my YWG
 
Two diamond gobies should be fine. They pr pretty readily.
 
Can you put a YWG, ORA Watchman and an Orange Spotted in a 90 Gallon? Stretching it here, but a boy can dream, right?

I have a customer with a 60cube that has six different watchman gobies, four of them(all different species) share the same burrow.
