Looks like a pistol in my eyes

 

[Joesig]

Yup pistol

 

[divetoday]

Pistol for sure

 

[meir]

Will it grow?

 

[meir]

and can I pair it with a goby @divetoday @Joesig @94Roarge

It might just do

and can I pair it with a goby @divetoday @Joesig @94Roarge

Potentially, it could be worth a try in my opinion

 

[meir]

@94Roarge if I put a shrimp goby in there, will they find each other

 

[Joesig]

It might pair up but not all pistol shrimps do. Some like to like in rocks not sand.
Just be cautious

+1, it comes down to individual matchups I think

@Joesig so that's where I found it, in the rock

I have a pistol shrimp and a yellow watchman goby .... both living at seperate ends of my tank its always hit and miss if they pair up .. unless you buy them already coupled .. imo

Aha but how do you know if it's a symbiotic pistol shrimp? And say it's not one of the pairing kinds can I have two

Maybe i have two pistols with two yasha goby on the same rock at opposite ends of the rock
Oneday they might find each other and fight
I ended up with two be ouse i thought one had died
