YW Goby and Pistol Shrimp

[Thomasflynn15]

I had a shrimp/goby pair along with a pair of clownfish, and a pair of PJ cardinals. It’s a 75 gallon fowlr. Up for 4 years.

2 days ago I added a lawnmower blenny and an aptaisia filefish. I haven’t seen the shrimp/goby pair since then.


I don’t think these additions would’ve caused issues in terms of aggression or bioload. Thoughts?

I know shrimp/goby pairs often go missing and spontaneously pop up again, but after how many days of not seeing them would you presume them dead?

Honestly?

They can be gone 2-3 weeks if you have enough rock work.

Maybe more if they manage to just use another entrance as their main one

Two days missing is another Tuesday
