Goby pistol shrimp combo

[djconn]

I've been considering getting a goby/pistol shrimp combo for my 5.5. Do you guys think that a pair would be okay in my 5.5 gal? The only other fish in there is the red headed goby. Would they be compatible?

I know there are many goby/shrimp pairs out there. Which pair would you consider the best and most interesting?

Thanks

I have the Yosha goby pair and when I added them to my nano cube, the bigger one divorced his mate and shacked in with my pistol shrimp. I was sad to see the pair break up there relationship for a ugly little shrimp...

I used to have the 2nd one...Very pretty fish. I've always wanted the first one, but everytime VTF gets one I'm broke.

B,

The links don't want to work? Can you double check them?

Thanks,

Yeah, couldnt get them to work either. :cry:

I think I might go with either of those two. I will prob. order them.

Ok...The links work now.....I just copied a post I already had on RC, and for some reason it shortened the links.
