Aquarium Advice Addict
I was thinking about getting some type of watchman goby and pistol shrimp (maybe a yellow watchman and a candy pistol), but I've read that the YWG can harass/kill other gobies, or snails that come by their cave.
Also read how aggressive the pistol is, eating small snails, or whatever happens to fall in it's cave (have lots of dwarf ceriths I think it would eat), nips, moves, and annoys corals, and wouldn't stirring up the sand release silicates and cause diatoms?
I've read lots of negatives and want to know people's experiences/thoughts, if they ever had a problem with the pair or the fish or shrimp individually. Can't decide if I want to possibly put any fish/inverts/corals at risk or have this amazing the symbiotic relationship. Any input would be very helpful and appreciated!
