Randalli Pistol Shrimp - Aquarium Advice

usmcmarc · 01-05-2008, 10:50 PM

I have 1 small Randalli Pistol Shrimp. It looks like both my gobies (Tangaroa & Wheelers Watchman) have paired with it.....that is, I see both of them hanging out near his hole.

Question is...can I add another pistol shrimp...I'm not "hip" to their behavior around each other.

What sized tank?

It's a BioCube 29G. The pistol I have now is only about 1 inch long.

You should be able to fit another one in there. They get to be about 2.5 inches. I would be careful, mine moves a LOT of sand. Try to get one about the same size, or not too much bigger or smaller.

Thanks...If they have another tiny one, I'll get it.
