I already have a pistol shrimp and thinking of getting another one for my 12g Nano Tank. I know they are peaceful, but will they a problem to eachother? Tell me what you think? Thanks

I haven't personally kept more than one pistol but from what I understand they get along fine.What kind of pistols are you planning on housing together?

I think that Erik has a couple of pistols together but I think that they are all the same kind, maybe he will chime in here to confirm this.

skip you are absolulty right.

i have three randalli pistol shrimp, one hi finned red banned goby and one yellow watchman goby. havent had any problems with any of them. im not sure on keeping different species though. cant really recall anybody keeping two different species either. dont think youll have a problem, they will probably just burrow on opposite sides of the tank. HTH

maubee how is your pistol doing???? it's messy like mine ??? how ofter do u see him??
As a matter of fact he is messy. Always digging on both corners of the tank, and burying my polps in the sand bed. I think he's a menace and i rarely see him, unless i take a peek at night with a flash light. I think after experiencing his digging, one is enough for me. Thanks for the advice guys. Appreciate it.
