Haha so the pistol shrimp went right into the cave I had made and I can't even find him, and the goby followed haha!

Wait!! Goby came out! Kind of a rough picture though

Will the pistol ever come out?

Haha thats sweet! And the pistol will show himself every once in a while, but he wont be fully exposed
 
Okay now he's like... Swimming at the top of the tank in front of the power head and it looks like he's getting thrashed by the current... But keeps going up there?! It's so weird!!

Dow she just like the current?!

Maybe, fish will act weird for the first couple of days being in a new tank, explore, and play will stuff.
That pistol shrimp is gonna make a bug burrow or him and the goby to live it.
I found holes completely on the other edge of my tank will the goby sticking his head out.
 
I hope he's okay! I'm out right now but I'll see how he is when I get back!

Here's another pic of him!

The goby looks great! :)

Thanks! :) he's acting a bit weird right now but hopefully he settles down! My girlfriend says that the shrimp probably told him to go swim around and play while he makes their home, so I'm just gonna go with that! :)
 
What kind of shrimp did you get?

I got a coral banded shrimp and barely ever seen him except when he was moving sand.

I believe that's the one... Red and white?!

I'm kind of bummed that I don't get to see the shrimp I paid a lot of money for :/ oh well haha
 
Okay I'm getting seriously scared about my goby getting to close to the power head. He's almost gotten sucked in a few times... Should I wrap it in pantyhose or something?!
 
You get to see his creations! An no you should be fine. He'll stay away. He shouldn't be able to be sucked in.
 
There are lots of kinds of pistol shrimp.

That looks like a maxijet. You should be worried, they have big openings (lost a nem to one). Does maxijet sell foam covers? Forgive me if it's not maxijet.

Fish get sucked in FAR more then you think.... Definitly cover up the openings!
 
I tried covering it with pantyhose and it stopped the flow completely. Anyone else have any other suggestions?

And when do you think I could get some coral?
